Are you regularly doing scheduled workplace inspections? If you’re not, you should be and now is a great time to start. Workplace inspections give you a chance to thoroughly evaluate equipment, processes, tasks, tools, and other factors. Regular inspections help you find new hazards, see how existing hazard controls are working, correct or fix issues, and implement new controls (engineering, administrative, PPE) where needed.

Your safety depends on workplace inspections and the corrective actions that should be taking place. Workplace inspections are designed to uncover hazards, the obvious and not so obvious kind.

Conducting regular safety inspections is a key component of any workplace safety program. Unfortunately, safety inspection methods leave a lot to be desired at many workplaces.

A first aid program is required for most employers in the U.S. and Canada. The program should be based on the hazards, risks, and proximity to medical services of an individual site, however there are several elements that every program should include.

Training your first aid attendants and first responders is a required part of every first aid program. But do you know what exactly should be covered or what training methods to use? Hazards are present at all worksites, from offices to mines. So too are the chances of injuries and illnesses. Sudden cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, shock, a near-drowning, or lack of oxygen during confined space work are all life-threatening emergencies. Without prompt and properly performed first aid a victim of any of these situations will very likely die or be permanently disabled while waiting for emergency services to arrive and begin care.
