Preventing and Responding to Hypothermia
Working outdoors in the winter can expose you to dangerously low temperatures. This cold weather can heighten your risk of experiencing a variety of complications—such as hypothermia. For employees that spend their time outdoors during low temperatures, this poses a safety risk- one that can result in serious injuries and costly claims.
Ramp Safety: Unloading Product
In all industries, but especially in transportation and warehousing, safety is a critical component of success, particularly when it comes to equipment use. Ramp safety risks are something employers should be concerned about. If a ramp is not set up properly, it can lead to serious injuries and loss of product. There are several risks that an employer should be aware of when employees are working with ramps and things to keep in mind when designing new ramp systems or replacing old ramps.
Combating Workplace Safety Complacency
Employees acting complacent and ignoring hazards on the job can increase the likelihood of serious safety incidents happening in your workplace—including nearmisses, injuries and even fatalities. After all, even if you have taken steps to ensure healthy and safe working conditions within your organization, safety incidents can still occur if your employees engage in careless acts or unsafe behaviors.
