Tagging 101: Your Primer on Safety Tags

September 11, 2012
Safety Tags

Attach safety tags to your machinery and equipment to warn your employees of possible dangers.

In September 2010, Kelly Dean Caudill was repairing a conveyor for an Indiana-based auto glass plant. Suddenly, a nearby air cylinder activated, squashing Caudill with tons of pressure. He died later at a hospital.

Avoid such a tragedy in your company by using safety tags. Tags convey important information, thereby keeping your employees wary of possible hazards. Aside from being clear, concise and durable, your tags should comply with government standards. Explore the different types of safety tags and choose the ones that cater to your needs. (more…)

Is this your company’s workplace safety training? I hope not.

I am of course making light of the manner, I do realize that this type of workplace safety training does not exist anymore….I should say I hope!

With that said….

How far have we really come?

This video was shot in 1944…that’s 66 years ago! That’s a long time to perfect workplace safety. Think of it like this…

The accident frequency rate (injuries per 1 million hours worked) was roughly 18.5 in 1945 according to the economic history services.  In 2008 according to OSHA, the accident frequency rate was 19.5!

NOTE:OSHA’s report is actually based on injuries per 200,000 hours at 3.9. Here is the math (1 million/200k = 5)3.9 = 19.5.

What is your company’s Accident Frequency Rate? Try this..

(N/EH) x 200,000

N = number of injuries and illnesses
EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year
200,000= base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year)

I can’t honestly tell you what is a good number to benchmark is because technically it should be zero injuries. But, I know that is difficult so I would try and stay below the 2008 average of 3.9. A lot of companies set a goal of 3, so try and get there!

How do you get there?

One way is to improve safety communication. That’s Emedco’s specialty.

throughout your facility try to improve your….

Also be sure to train your employees on your safety procedures.

Good luck improving your workplace safety!

Emedco
