Organization of Work Areas

The way we set up our work areas makes a significant impact on our ability to work safely as well as efficiently.

All too often, our work areas are set up and not changed for extended periods of time, even when a rearrangement would be a significant improvement.

Complacency often plays a factor in why our work areas are not changed for the better.

Taking the time to evaluate your work areas as well as taking action to eliminate hazards can prevent an injury from occurring.

Doing Work Tasks Wrong the First Time Safety Talk
There is unnecessary exposure to hazards for workers across the country every single day. The list of possible unsafe actions and unsafe conditions employees deal with in their work can be limitless.
One scenario that often results in unnecessary exposure to hazards is doing work wrong the first time. Even if a work task is being completed safely, but is being done incorrectly the first time around, whoever must go back and redo the work will inherently be put at risk for injury just by the mere fact that additional work must be performed.

From the Desk of Jim Persons – Spotter Safety at Work

Spotter Safety at Work
While spotting for heavy equipment operators may not seem like a dangerous task, it certainly is.
Every year back over incidents between equipment and spotters result in fatalities. OSHA states that dump trucks followed by semi-trucks and ordinary pickups are responsible for the majority of back over incidents in the past 10 years on the job.
Spotting for equipment has been proven to be an effective safeguard for preventing incidents between pedestrians and the equipment as well as preventing property loss incidents, but safe work practices need to be established to protect spotters as well.
