Safety Tips for Those Working Around Water
People who aren’t expecting to end up in water often are not prepared for that possibility and the results can be tragic. Every year in the United States and Canada, an estimated 3,800 people drown, with many of these victims being people who ended up in the water unintentionally.
Find the Fire Hazards
Workplace fires account for many injuries and deaths, with approximately three percent of workplace fatalities being related to fire and explosions. Not only do workplace fires cause injuries and deaths, they also cause millions of dollars worth of property damage every year, leading to job losses. In fact, a great many of the workplaces destroyed by fire are never rebuilt.
Driving Safely in Reverse
Operating a vehicle in reverse puts you at a disadvantage. It's difficult to see all the obstacles in your way. And because the driver seating and controls are designed primarily for forward travel, it's hard to respond quickly enough to changing traffic situations. According to the National Safety Council, one in four motor vehicle accidents can be attributed to poor backing techniques.
Preparing for Emergencies in the Workplace
Unexpected emergencies occur in workplaces every day in factories, plants, offices and warehouses, as well as construction sites and on the road. It could be a fire, fatal injury, flood, earthquake, shooting, tornado, chemical spill or another kind of crisis. So it’s important that companies have an emergency response plan to cover all expected and unexpected disasters. For this plan to be effective, all employees must be trained in the roles they will play in an emergency.
