Accidents happen when people are overtired, over-heated, cold or stressed. Studies show most accide ts happen in late morning from 10 to 11 a.m. and late afternoon from 4 to 5 p.m., just before meals. Take a break every couple hours. Get off the machines, walk around and attempt to get refreshed. No one should feel guilty for taking a break.
Refreshed workers mean higher productivity and less accidents.
Stay healthy by staying clean. Cleanliness is an important means of preventing the spread of disease. Areas should be designated where workers can wash off soil, chemicals and animal waste. Water may be needed to wash and cleanse chemical spills occurring on the body and eyes. Be nice to yourself.
