As we are heading toward summer, it may be easy to daydream and lose focus of safety practices on the job.
They say accidents are avoidable—-I know, I know, you are going to say, that is not true, but there is plenty of data to support this statement.
Don’t be a statistic, be a winner, by taking every safety precaution.
Now is a good time to check outside your building for weather damage, and as the weather improves, get any damages repaired, for example, shipping doors and loading docks, traffic signs and painted lines.
How is your forklift training coming? At Mississauga branch, we certified a new forklift driver (KURT WALTON) and recertified (DON AND EDWARD) through the services of our own Ron Neath.
Being a good forklift driver is not only driving skill, but confidence in the ability to judge what can and can’t be lifted safely.
Now is also a good time to check your safety shoes, first aid boxes, and eyewash stations.
If you use power nail guns, inspect for worn or damaged connectors and hoses.
Ensure that personnel using power nailers are properly trained.
Keep safe everyone, and here is a tip: wear safety glasses when cutting your grass at home- I do.
All for now, from Edward and Ron.
