Follow these steps to improve safety
Lab Safety Advisor, August 21, 2007
The Oregon OSHA recommends the following ways to improve overall safety:
- Celebrate safety and health success in your lab by recognizing people who are "safety all-stars"
- Incorporate safety into new employee orientation. One-third of serious accidents occur during an employee's first year on the job. A commitment to training at the start reduces the risk of a worker being seriously injured.
- Focus on problem areas. Conduct brief meetings with staff to identify safety concerns.
- Demonstrate that safety and health is a value, not just a priority. Make sure that everyone in the organization knows the safety regulations and follows them.
- Talk about safety and health at every opportunity
- Recognize the good work done by the safety committee including specific safety issues they have addressed
