September Pre-Shift Safety Calendar

Thousands of workers are injured on the job every year across the country. Although some injuries can be very serious and life-threatening, others are not as critical and require less attention. From developing carpal tunnel because of too much time typing to injuring a hand while working on the line of a plant floor, injuries can occur in any given work environment and can affect any worker. Reducing the occurrence of injuries is the main objective of Verst Logistics.

What can we do to reduce the number of injury causes?

Besides having meetings with your employees before every shift, there are many ways to reduce the number of risks that employees take when going to work. For example, cleaning and tidying up the workplace is one way to reduce injuries from falls. Keeping your work area clean and clutter-free is very important in preventing these kinds of injuries. Also, using anti-slip coatings on floors or wearing anti-slip footwear might help reduce falls.

Some important ways to reduce bodily reaction injuries include eliminating environmental factors that can cause these injuries. Be aware of hazards that can cause injuries, such as improper placement of tools or clutter around your workstation. Also, maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper physical conditioning and prevent situations that carry prolonged awkward posture.
