Most of us use stairways every day at work or home. We have done it for years and the problem is…we no longer think about the dangers.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury.
Please read and share this Safety Share on stair safety, courtesy of Nuclear Waste Management, with your staff and/or colleagues. It includes some quick, easy tips to help you stay safe.
Begin each meeting with a safety share. It’s a great way to break the ice, begin teambuilding 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).
