National Safety Month WEEK 1 - Training and Culture of Care We all learn in different ways. Being versatile in how we train is the 1st step to success. Does your Company have an EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP)? If that answer is YES communicate that information to them. There are so many misconceptions about EAPs and the support they can provide. These programs are so underutilized. It is THAT important! #safetyfirstalways #mshasafetyservices #couragetocommunicate

I like reading mystery novels, so I really enjoyed talking to Stephen J Wallace about his book, Hazardous Lies. I don't often find mystery novels in which the main character is an engineer, but this is one of those exceptions. Listen to this podcast to learn more about the book, the author, and how to lean into your creative side.

Yes in fire safety trim around the hydrant 👨‍🚒🔥 While typically a winter-time topic, fire hydrant maintenance is just as important in the summer. Landscaping during the summer months can be just as beneficial as shoveling during the winter when it comes to locating and operating a fire hydrant. If you have a fire hydrant on your property or near your property, spending a few extra seconds with a string trimmer can make a huge difference! A little extra time spent trimming around your fire hydrant can make them easier to see, potentially saving valuable time in emergencies!

Let's talk about CEUs for Safety Professionals. I've been attending some free webinars from ASSP to gain CEUs. I also found out that my 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher course counts as 0.8 each year (verified by calling BCSP to make sure it wasn't double dipping and she said no it can count each year since the course can change each year). I know I can attend the conferences to achieve CEUs but I'm not really able to with my current company. What avenues have you all used to get your CEUs? And have you found any Ethics Training CEUs? #BCSP #CEUs

The ELEPHANT In The Room... Why/How do EXPERIENCED folks who KNOW their jobs, KNOW the hazards, have ALL the "tools" (training, PPE, etc., etc.), and KNOW the "expectations"... why/how do THEY wind up injured??? "We do DAILY Safety meetings!" "We do JSAs!" "We do pre-job/task Safety meetings... for EVERY JOB!" "We remind our people ALL DAY... EVERY DAY of the DANGERS of every task!" "We document EVERYTHING!" ...and folks still make mistakes that can/do injure them/others. W H Y??? One thing that rarely (if EVER) gets considered is - RISK fatigue. "Don't do THIS!" "Don't do THAT!"... a hundred times a day... 300 days a year... year... after year... AFTER YEAR. Same message (a GOOD ONE). Told/yelled/threatened - The. EXACT. SAME. WAY. ...every time. Maybe your teams are suffering from - RISK FATIGUE. _________________________________ Is there a solution? YOU BET THERE IS!!! Change the "WHY"... change the outcome. (tm) -Chip Green-

Axes and Axe safety 🦺 I’m sure you have covered this on site 🤔 Before you start using your axe, it's necessary to make sure you can do so safely. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, taking a few precautions beforehand can prevent accidents and injuries. From sharpening your axe and wearing the proper safety equipment to clearing the chopping area to holding your axe properly. 🦺INSPECT YOUR AXE & HANDLE Before using your axe take a look at the axe head and handle. Is the axe head securely attached to the handle? Is the handle cracked anywhere? Is the bit chipped? A few seconds of inspection can save you headaches later! HOLD THE AXE PROPERLY If you’re right-handed, hold the axe so that your left hand sits just above the knob at the end of the handle, palm facing towards you. Your right hand should grasp the neck a few inches below the axe’s head, with its palm facing away. (If you’re a lefty, simply reverse these instructions.) Hold the axe with a grip that’s firm, but not tense. As you swing at your target, your top hand will slide down to the bottom, so that your two hands meet. Focus on accuracy first, not power. It won’t do any good to swing an axe as hard as you can if it hits the wrong spot every single time. As you can imagine, you’ll cut more wood much more quickly and efficiently if you hit the wood in about the same spot every time you strike it. Keep your eyes trained on the spot you want to strike and concentrate on keeping your aim true, using controlled strokes. Once you can accurately swing your axe, then you can focus on speed and power. When you walk with your axe, it’s tempting to throw it over your shoulder like you’d imagine an old-time lumberjack doing. But that’s not the safest way to carry an axe; if you trip, you could fall into the axe’s blade, and if it’s an unsheathed double bit, the blade could even cut into your back. Instead, you’ll sheathe your axe and then grip it just beneath the head with the bit pointed outward. To walk with an axe safely, always hold the axe pointing down and away from you. If you do happen to stumble, toss the axe away from you and other people.
