For many businesses, it is important to have a workplace safety plan set in place. This is a personalized plan for your business to help your employees avoid dangerous situations.
OSHA expects every business to have safety plans in place, and there are industries that have a high risk for employee injuries that definitely need one. These industries include construction, warehouse, and road work, just to name a few. If you don’t have one in place, start 2020 on the right foot and work on setting one up.
There are several details that should be included in your plan. These include:
- Immediate action to take
- Procedures to secure the area
- Personnel to contact regarding the incident
- Method of communication to alert others
- Safe handling instructions and applications
- Protective gear that should be worn
- Evacuation routes
- Training plans
- Waste or equipment disposal
