I read an article the other day
focused on winter safety hazards and best ways to prepare for and avoid them.
You know, things like tips to prevent falls when conditions are icy and how to
prevent skids on slick roads; preventing frostbite; what to do if your vehicle
gets stuck in the snow; the type of things you need to look for this time of
year.
Each season has its own
specific set of safety risks, but the bottom line is that safety – being safe, following
safety procedures and always being aware of potential safety issues – should be
a daily top-of-the-mind subject; especially in the workplace.
Safety in the workplace is not
something that just happens; it is planned, implemented and practiced every
day. It has to be for it to work. And every employee needs to take
responsibility for it. It is a top priority, not something that can be placed
on the back burner, not something that there’s no budget for or even an area
where you can cut corners. People’s lives and livelihoods depend on it.
Safety is serious business.
It doesn’t take a break for the holidays. Please keep it top of mind and have a
happy, healthy and safe holiday season.
