February 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #179: Organize an Occupational Health and Safety Program
Tip of the Week
Managers of industrial companies are encouraged by OSHA to implement a health and safety program for all employees. This kind of program can help to prevent injuries and illnesses that may occur on the jobsite. One of the biggest hazards in an industrial setting can be directly related to poor wire management. Electrical shock, tripping, and fires are all major risks for an employee in an environment that doesn't adhere to wire/cable safety guidelines.
A health and safety program requires commitment from the workplace's management to bring employees' attention to safety guidelines. Regular meetings can be held to refresh employees on the guidelines or to update any past guidelines that have been amended. Also, OSHA offers literature and posters to be openly displayed in the workplace. Management should also organize regular safety inspections, as this will help to reduce both employee injuries and lawsuits.
