Did you know that 5,071 workers died on the job in 2008?

“With every one of these fatalities, the lives of a worker’s family members were shattered and forever changed. We can’t forget that fact.”
-Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor

Maintaining a safe work environment for your employees should be a top priority. Common sense by all involved is the best prevention, but as a reminder I have listed my top five safety tips of the day. I have a feeling that by following them they will also help you comply with OSHA Safety Standards and help prevent occupational injuries. =)

My Top Five Workplace Safety Tips:

1. Maintain a clean work environment by keeping aisles clear and work areas neat.
2. Be sure you understand the work your employees do and the machines they work on.
3. Include safety instructions in procedures you write and focus on preventing the most common mistakes by thinking about situations that are most likely to occur.
4. Update safety instructions with new info should a new incident occur.
5. Perform routine maintenance on machines and should a machine become unsafe, shut it down before someone gets hurt.
