ATTENTION
Spring is right around the corner, be alert of sudden changes in the weather. Tornadoes can happen fast and can be deadly. PLAN AHEAD. Ensure you weather radios are working properly and have fresh back up batteries. Know your "take cover locations" in your work areas well in advance of a possible tornado. Be ready to participate in the Statewide Tornado drill on March 20th at 9:45am. Read the following from the ES&H Manual chapter about Tornado Preparedness http://www.jlab.org/ehs/ehsmanual/3510T3.htm
.Clean House for a Safer Workplace
There is a direct correlation between a clean, neat, well-organized workplace and a safe, successful workplace. Benefits of good housekeeping: * Eliminates accident and fire hazards * Maintains safe and healthy working conditions * Saves time, money, materials, space, and effort * Improves productivity and quality * Boosts employee morale * Reflects an image of a well-run organization Poor housekeeping, on the other hand, creates hazards and invites accidents. * Slips from slick or wet floors or platforms * Trips from objects or materials left in walkways and work areas * Falls from holes in walking and working surfaces, uneven flooring, uncovered pits or drains, and boxes and pallets used instead of adequate platforms * Collisions caused by poorly stored materials, overhanging or protruding objects, and materials and equipment stored in aisles * Fire hazards created by piles of combustible scrap and trash, improperly stored flammable materials, and blocked emergency exits * Chemical hazards caused by leaking or damaged containers, improper storage, and inadequate or improper cleanup of spilled materials
