General Workplace Safety Tips

Make sure all walkways are free of clutter or tripping hazards such as wires and extension cords.

All desk should be kept clean and also free of clutter this will help prevent accidental spills which could damage equipment.

Have working fire extinguisher and full first aid kits at all times. Make sure all employees know where they are located and are trained in proper use.

Stairwells and fire exits should be clearly marked and again all employees should know where they are located.

Empty all wastebaskets each night this will help in preventing fires. Let employees know there is a zero tolerance policy towards violence. This includes

physical aw well as mental bullying. Make sure all the cords on any equipment is in good condition no frays,tears or holes.

That could potentially rip and start a fire. Replace old wires or equipment as soon as the problem is found.

Do not use extension cords whenever possible. Don't over load any electrical sockets with too many plugs.

Personal Workplace Safety Tips Always wear the proper safety gear when working in an environment. If you are cutting wood or metal be sure to wear protective eye gear such as goggles at

all times. One tiny piece could go flying and cause permant vision loss. While using loud machinery be sure to wear ear plugs. They will help prevent any

hearing loss. Wear full body suits and protective masks while working with hazardous materials. If any chemicals should accidentally spill on your body immediately make your way to

the shower station that should be set up near you. Learn how to properly work any equipment before you even turn it on. If you are not

sure how it works find someone who does and ask them to help you. Lift with your knees. Don't bend at your back it could cause you to pull a muscle. Never touch a live electrical wire. If you see a fallen wire alert management so they can

have it fixed correctly. Only take your cigarette break in designated areas. They are there to help prevent fires

that may be caused by smoking near flammable gases or accidentally because it was not put out correctly.

wear shoes that fit correctly and prevent skidding. Before using a ladder check all of the steps to make sure they are secure. Also make

sure to make the ladder on a flat surface to prevent it from moving.
