Safety Tips Every employee Should Know

1. Report Unsafe Conditions ASAP

Fixing unsafe conditions and preventing bad things from happening starts with YOU. Employees must report unsafe conditions to their managers as soon as they notice something isn’t right

2. Follow The Latest Safety Procedures

Whether your company purchases new equipment or just updates safety procedures, you must know the new safety procedures and safety topics for work associated with the change. 

3. Don’t Take Shortcuts

Workplace safety and handling procedures exist to keep your employees safe, especially those when involving heavy machinery. It is essential to use each tool and machine according to instruction, shortcuts will only cause injury and just aren’t worth the few minutes you may save. So, be sure you’re using the right tool, the correct way.

4. Take Regular Breaks

Taking regular breaks is not just required by OSHA but it’s just common sense too. The entire reason that OSHA included the regular breaks is common sense, when workers are tired, they’re more prone to incidents because awareness of their surroundings is hampered by exhaustion. Taking breaks on a regular schedule helps keep employees fresh. As well to be noted on the timesheets accordingly.

5. Set & Follow Emergency Protocols

Emergencies don’t often announce themselves, like fire, floods, or tornados for example. So you must be prepared for everything in your region that can disrupt safety to your company, your employees, and your customers. As far as safety topics for work go, emergency protocols are a no-brainer.

Therefore, have procedures in place if an emergency should happen: 

 

  • Anticipate natural disasters and similar emergencies by checking social media alerts and the Weather Channel. 
  • Identify risks to your company. 
  • Identify crucial points to your company and how to effectively protect them.
  • Following Site Emergency Protocols
  • Make sure your employees complete Emergency Response and Evacuation Training.
