Let 2008 be the year that you and your staff work towards a positive safety culture. OSHA has acknowledged that those facilities that have a total safety culture have less employee injuries and increased work productivity. Here are some tips to consider:- Ensure that you accomplish required education and training (i.e. annual bloodborne pathogens training).
- Conduct a survey to identify where you are using sharps in your office. Identify potential sharps safety devices (engineering controls) and have your staff evaluate them and implement as applicable.
- Get everyone involved. Share the responsibility to check eyewash stations, fire extinguishers, maintain material safety data sheets, labelling secondary chemical containers, etc.
