A New Year Message to Safety Enthusiasts

Happy New Year to all followers of this blog. Huh, it's been a year since my last update.

Anyway, as a new year message - this year, and as always will be another challenge to all of us in trying to make our workplace a better and safer one.

Technologies are fast becoming obsolete and the term "New" is frequently associated with "better" in the workplace. But when new equipment, substances, or procedures are introduced, your employees might also be exposed to new hazards.

To protect your workers in a changing work environment, you need to remember the heirarchy i.e.

1. Engineering Control
2. Administrative Control
3. Personal Protective Equipment

Lastly, bear in mind that there's always a better and safer way of doing things.
