Stop the Drop
Handling materials and working with tools is a substantial part of the work we do as a company and a majority of that work is done at heights. Within our industry, dropped materials and tools present a high exposure to potentially serious incidents. In response to this potential hazard, we developed and implemented the Stop the Drop Module as part of our Emphasis Programs to proactively address this concern. Stop the Drop is a four-week module focused on the potential for injury due to dropped and falling objects, as well as the elimination and control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and opens dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is comprehended and retained. By educating each employee about the possibility of falling objects and how to mitigate that risk, employees are prepared and given the tools they need to prevent potential falling object hazards. They are able to “Stop the Drop.” Protect Your Hands While working, we place our hands at risk hundreds of times each day and expose them to injuries each time we use them. To aid in hand injury awareness, identify the risk of working with our hands, and demonstrate how to mitigate those hazards, we developed and implemented the Protect Your Hands Module as part of our Emphasis Programs. Protect Your Hands is a two-week module that focuses on the potential for injury to your hands when working, how to identify hand hazards such as pinch points, sharp edges, material handling, line of fire, and the elimination and control measures needed to mitigate those hazards. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. Slips, trips, and falls are second only to motor vehicles in the number of fatalities within North America. Statistics show that the majority of falls happen on the same level resulting from slips and trips. To reduce injuries from same level falls, we implemented the Walking/Working Surfaces module as part of our Emphasis Programs In this two-week module, we examine hazards and proven mitigation steps for falls due to slips, trips, housekeeping, stairs, ladders, changes in elevation, and other less than ideal walking surfaces. This module encourages employee participation and open dialog with supervision through topic-specific tailgate safety meetings and incident case studies. After all the material of the module has been presented to the employees, a knowledge check is completed to ensure the content is understood and retained. Walking/Working Surfaces
