During 2020, PPE became an everyday topic. Disposable masks, garments, and gloves became the lead story as we battled the pandemic. Now, as recovery begins, new challenges arise. Facilities that were closed are now welcoming individuals back in. Manufacturing is stepping up production, jobsites are getting back up to speed, and individuals are re-entering the workforce.
But with such a long break come potential dangers. Workers that have kept moving over the last year might be over-worked, and the new entrants into the workforce might not be on their toes. Both of these situations can create potential safety dangers. That is why the Fastenal Safety Specialist team is promoting getting back to basics. What does getting back to basics look like? To establish a comprehensive safety program, it takes collaboration and participation from everyone in a facility or on a jobsite.
Choosing the right PPE is only part of the equation. Analyzing your hazards, environment and procedures ensures that your safety program is well rounded. As we hopefully move past the dangers of pandemic, we can’t forget the basics. REMEMBER: SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY. Vertical Divider
