Safety doesn’t punch a time clock, so when you leave work, take your safety attitude home with you. That way, you’ll return for the next shift. You are much more likely to be injured on your own time. National Safety Council statistics indicate seven out of eight fatalities and over half of disabling injuries for workers happen away from the job. Example

Charlie’s wife wanted a safety gate on their basement stairs doorway for their child as the baby had almost tumbled downstairs when the door was left open. As a temporary x, he nailed a piece of plywood across the doorway to the height of a toddler’s chest. Who was rst to forget about the makeshift barrier? Charlie. He nearly broke his neck when carrying his tools and fell over the obstacle.

How to protect yourself:

• At home Lift safely; furniture moving results in many injured backs. Keep your home free of fall hazards. Repair broken ooring or torn carpeting and clean up spills immediately. Use a stepladder to reach awkward places instead of standing on a kitchen chair. • Fire safety Regularly inspect for hazards such as combustible materials. Keep smoke detectors and re extinguishers in good operating condition. Store ammable liquids in well-ventilated areas outdoors. • Electrical Make sure you are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter when you use powered tools in any damp environment. Don’t overload electrical cir- cuits. • Garage or workshop Use the correct tool for the job, and wear the right personal protective equipment (PPE). Lawn-mowing and operating other power tools call for protective eyewear and safety footwear. Weekend construction and pruning proj- ects require hardhats. • Car or truck Most traf c crashes happen close to home and at low speeds, so buckle up. Remember that fatigue or anger can impair driving ability. • Out for fun Learn how to do sports and other recreational pursuits safely. Wear the right protective sports gear. Exercise regularly; tness reduces the chances of get- ting hurt. Avoid using drugs or alcohol especially before activities requiring concentration and alertness, such as boating. Learn to swim.

Don’t leave your safety attitude at work when you punch the time clock at the end of your shift.
