Life can hurt! We cannot prevent every accident from occurring in our life. Catching unsafe conditions and having them fixed lower our risk of getting hurt. Employers benefit by reducing their cost of lost time and recordable injuries. The challenge is to get people everywhere to start making safe choices. No one ever wants to get injured, yet the hospital emergency rooms seem to be always full of patients waiting for treatment. Our goal is to help everyone remember to be safe at work, home and at play.
What can you do?
Ask yourself over and over. Is this task safe for me to do? If your answer is no, STOP! Do not perform the task it until you make sure it is safe. If you are not sure about an unsafe condition or task. Ask someone who knows how to make the condition safe. Get the safety training neccessary for the job and equipment you are responsible for running. You may need machine guarding training, confined space training, lockout tagout training, fall protection training, electrical safe practices training and /or stored energy training, It may be to late when you are in the hospital to say I should have learned how to work safely.
You may also need to wear personal protective equipment like ear plugs, safety glasses, steel toed shoes, work gloves or even a hard hat.. The types of personnel protective equipment and training depend on the job and task being performed. See: http://www.osha.gov Always use the right tools for the job. If you don't have the right tools. Go get them! The time it takes to get the right tool is a lot less than a visit to the emergency room. Don't forget the lost wages you could be earning while waiting to recover.
We cannot control everything that happens to us (sometimes it is the other person) however, we can control our actions. Remember, the person most responsible for your safety is YOU. The person you look at every morning in the mirror.
