Pay greater attention to our work environ- ment and how we perform our tasks. Slips , falls and muscle strains are the biggest cause of lost time injury at the University. Paying attention to wet floors, clutter, how we lift heavy objects and how we sit at our computers can go a long way to helping you stay healthy. Remove unwanted items from your workplace. Many offices, laboratories, cold rooms, freezers, fume hoods and hallways are filled with items that appear to be outdated or not used.
Excessive clutter increases the fire and accident potential .
Take a little time out of your day to discard unwanted items. Organize your workplace so that you can perform your work quickly and safely. Put away any items that you are no longer using. We find numerous waste containers spread throughout your laboratories. Properly segregating your waste can help us with our regulatory compliance and save the University a great deal of money.
