BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Every job site has inherent dangers — whether that’s heavy machinery, conveyor belts, or even tripping over items in the office. The best way to keep yourself and others safe is to identify the hazards in your workplace and be aware of your surroundings. The more familiar you are with your tasks and workplace, the more aware you’ll be of the potential hazards. Knowing your surroundings and potential hazards will help you and your co-workers identify how to minimize the risk and avoid workplace injuries.

Business employers should conduct
routine workplace self-inspections to:

• identify hazards,
• control identified hazards, and
• monitor and evaluate hazard controls to verify
that they continue to be effective.

The Autumn is coming upon us this Saturday the 23rd.

Slips, trips and falls can be prevented when walkways and building entrances are cleared of leaves, water, ice and snow, and warning signs are placed where trip hazards are hidden or cannot be removed. Lighting should be adjusted to illuminate dark or shadowy areas.

We just got a large shipment of high quality nitrile gloves in. All sizes are available. Please give us a pm or call for pricing.

Failing to wear the right personal protective equipment (PPE) equipment for the job is one of the most common culprits for serious injuries and fatalities. The type of PPE should change based on the task and industry. For instance, someone working in the space and defense industry would require different PPE than someone in field services. Some of the most common personal protective equipment includes:
Hard hats
Earmuffs
Earplugs
Gloves
Goggles
Respirators
And more
It's imperative your employees always wear the right equipment to reduce the likelihood and severity of injuries on the jobsite.

Another big reason workplace safety is important is because it can help improve productivity. If your employees feel safe and comfortable while they’re working, they’re more likely to be productive. A happy employee is a good employee.

The importance of workplace safety trumps any other objective a business can possibly have — since there are lives and livelihoods at stake.

The primary goals of First Aid, often referred to as the “Three P’s”, are:

Preserve Life: This is the main aim of any first aid procedure. It involves trying to save lives by providing essential treatment and stabilizing the patient before professional medical help arrives.

Prevent Further Harm: The first aider ensures that the patient is kept from any cause of harm and prevents the injury or illness from worsening.

Promote Recovery: First Aid also includes speeding up the patient’s recovery process. This could be by applying a plaster to a small wound or by performing CPR and helping to restore normal body functions.
