Not My Problem

We have all heard someone say in the workplace, “it is not my problem” or “that is not my job.” You should want a safe workplace outside of your own good and interests for all involved. However, remembering that it does truly affect you and the company as a whole when something is not right will encourage you to own whatever the hazard is and see it through so that it gets corrected. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.

Being Observant

There is so much noise and distraction in the world around us. It is critical to slow down and be able to observe the environment around you while are at work to be able to perform tasks safely. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.

Report All Injuries

All injuries need to be reported, no matter how small. You never know when something that seems minor will develop into something more serious. There are also lessons that can be learned to prevent future occurrences. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.

Hand Safety and Injury Prevention

Keeping our hands and fingers out of harm’s way at work is critical. A serious injury to an individual’s hands or fingers results in a huge negative impact on their ability to work and overall quality of life. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.

What Can Hurt Me Today?

Asking yourself a critical question such as, “What can hurt me today?,” is a step that helps mitigate and prevent injury by assessing uncontrolled hazards before they become a problem. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.

Dropped Objects

Dropped objects are a serious hazard at many worksites. Objects as small as a bolt can cause serious injury or even death when dropped from a higher level. Paying attention to the smaller hazards translates to safety improvement. See the FREAS SharePoint page under Safety for more information on this topic and previous Weekly Safety Messages.
