This is the first hot week of the summer season and we can expect many more to come. Now is the time to brush up on how to avoid and identify the symptoms of heat illness. Also, you should know what to do to if you, a family member or colleague is in distress.
Learn how to handle heat illness situations by reading this safety share from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on the health effects of heat.
Please print and share this information with your colleagues and/or staff.
Beginning each meeting with a safety share is a great way to break the ice, begin team building from the onset of meetings and keep safety at the forefront of our minds each and every day.
The Safety Share Library is binned by topic area, providing a variety of resources for your convenience.
All employees, groups and divisions are encouraged to submit safety shares for inclusion in the library. Submission details are available on Inside Argonne.
Each month a safety share submitted by an individual will be selected by Environment, Safety and Quality Assurance to receive a Spot Award for demonstrated safety leadership. The Spot Award program offers three award levels: gold ($100), silver ($50) and bronze ($25).
