Workplace Safety – the pain in the a$$ that may prevent a pain in you’re a$$...
We have all worked somewhere that has had a workplace “accident”, right? Have you ever thought to yourself, “You know what? That could’ve been prevented if he’d just fill in the blank with appropriate action…” Well you’re right!
“We don’t work in a dangerous environment. We work in a hazardous environment that we make dangerous by not following safe work procedures and wearing our PPE.” -Brad Miles
Now granted, it often seems like a hassle to use the safety door or strap on that safety harness, right? It would be quicker to just reach in there quick and make whatever adjustment you need without taking the time to shut everything off, then make your changes, and finally to restart what you were doing… But here’s the thing: I’m willing to bet you’d think it was a lot less of a hassle while you’re thinking back on what you could’ve done differently from your hospital bed.
According to OSHA, the number of workplace accidents has been steadily rising over the past 15 years, with 2016 having the highest number of incidents since 2003! And keep in mind, that’s only the reported incidents…
It’s our philosophy at WTC Machinery that if we go the extra mile to ensure that our equipment leaves our facility with as much thought put into end-user safety as possible, then we are helping our customers ensure a safer workplace for their employees. We install secondary safety switches and doors, and use remote controls whenever possible on our machines in an effort to minimize operator contact with moving parts during operation.
