Preventing Common OSHA Violations
The OSHA found that workers are not always wearing the necessary personal protective equipment to protect their eyes and face from flying particles, chemicals, gases, or dangerous light. Although office workers may not have to worry about this, it’s essential to provide standard safety equipment that is necessary for each job role.
Whether your team spends all day on ladders and roofs or just a few minutes on a ladder to reach new stock, ladder safety is imperative. The most common hazards are associated with employees failing to use portable ladders in accordance with their specifications. Make sure all employees know the proper way to climb and use a ladder.
Falls can happen in any business, at any time. Lack of fall protection continues to be the top OSHA-reported violation, especially in the construction industry. Fall protection must be provided depending on the height or potential danger to the employee.
