THIS JUNE, MAKE A PLAN TO TALK SAFETY WITH YOUR TEAM
Back to the Basics
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 these situations can create potential safety dangers. That is why this June, the Fastenal Safety Specialist team is promoting getting back to basics.
All month long, specialists will be reminding workers of the importance of four key pieces of PPE: head, hand, hearing, and eye protection. Use the resources below to read up on the specs of these products, find which Body Guard products can fill your needs, and check out webinars and podcasts.
And if you want to learn even more about these topics, fill out the form below and a Safety Specialist will be in touch to assist you. Remember: Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility.
