Risk management tips for manufacturers

Tip #1:
Safety footwear can protect against a range of workplace hazards. Impact and crush resistance (the familiar “steel toe” or hard cap) can be a key requirement, along with puncture resistance on the sole and along the sides. Other safety features may include slip resistance, ankle protection and even cut resistance.
Tip #2:
A little attention to basic housekeeping can help avoid dangerous trip and fall accidents with power tools, and fires from improperly stored combustibles. Keep the work areas clear of obstacles, clean up any spills or waste, and ensure inflammable materials and liquids are stored safely.
Tip #3:
Each year, tens of millions of dollars’ worth of equipment is stolen in Canada. Having a current inventory and keeping detailed records of all equipment (and tools) used on project sites will be instrumental in recovering and managing your assets.
