 Safety

 

        Slips/Trips/Falls- How to prevent.     

  • Pallet and Pallet Jack Safety-proper usage of pallets, no riding the pallet jack, don't leave empty pallets sitting, keep jack from being a trip hazard, use pallets that are safe (no nails sticking out or broken boards.  Keep pallets even to avoid trip hazard.  
  • Hoses and proper use-not leaving strung out, putting up wet floors signs, draining the hose after use, cleaning up the floor(squeegee), putting up a sign in crosswalks where people may walk.  Make sure the hose is in good working condition (no leaks or holes)

Ladder Safety

 

  • Proper techniques while using, locking it before use, don't lean over the edge, use the stairs properly.  Make sure tables are stable and you are using a ladder to access the table before climbing on to hang signs.
  • Do not stand on the table to get plants off the top shelf of racks.
  • Do not walk on the table edge if you must climb on it.  Especially end cap pieces.
  • Having proper nonslip footwear.
  • Cut off shrink wrap entirely to prevent a trip hazard.

How to handle Extreme Temps (Cold and Heat)

  • Avoiding/preventing heat stroke-drinking lots of water, using PPE (hats, glasses, long sleeves) taking breaks when needed.  Wearing sunscreen
  • Proper cold protection-wearing warm clothing and gloves, avoiding icy areas (get salt)
  • Wearing appropriate work attire- no open toed shoes, heels or shoes that are slippery.
