Beat the Heat with Sqwincher and Get a Free Freezer from
Saf-T-Gard |

Are you
aware that as little as 2-3% dehydration can result in a 20% decrease in
physical performance levels in temperate climates and up to a 50% decrease in
hot temperatures?
Workers can lose up to two gallons of fluid per day making
them especially vulnerable to the hazards that can cause serious injury and/or
illness.
|
|
Fortunately, dehydration-related incidents are 100% preventable. Water alone is not enough to replace the electrolytes that the body needs to combat dehydration.
Sqwincher® provides an optimally-formulated
supply of electrolytes that workers need to stay safe and productive.

Hazards exist in every workplace. Common examples include slips, trips, falls, exposure to loud noises, working from heights, vibrations and unguarded machinery. The best way to protect your employees is to recognize the hazards that exist on the job, and control them by utilizing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for the application.
This is where Saf-T-Gard can help! We've been bringing workers home safely since 1936 with our finest industrial safety products and PPE, and we can do the same for you.

Five Safety Tips
|
|
|
|
1. WHAT A
SIGHT! - The ANSI-ISEA 107 standard focuses on hazards associated with
low visibility on the outdoor jobsite. Choose the proper class traffic
safety vest for the application.
2. WE'LL
DRINK TO THAT - Dehydration is the leading cause of heat-related injuries.
The body absorbs electrolyte fluid beverages (like Sqwincher®) several times
faster than water alone.
3. REAL
KICK BACK STUFF - Protective footwear can now be selected for specific chemical
protection, durability, steel toe protection, and slip-resistant safety soles.
4. JACK AND
JILL WENT UP THE HILL - and we are sure they were wearing fall protection
equipment.
5. GOIN' TO
THE MAT - Anti-fatigue matting combines safety with comfort to enhance
worker productivity.

Question - What are the
requirements for products like gloves that come in contact with food?
Answer - The Food and Drug
Administration of the U.S. Government has published extensive regulations in
21CFR parts 170-199 identifying acceptable food additives, indirect food
additives, and substances generally recognized as safe. Gloves are considered
indirect food additives and therefore all components must comply with the
acceptable food additives or substances generally recognized as safe.

Requirements for
Fall Protection
What is the
threshold height above which employees must be furnished with fall protection
equipment?
The threshold
height is 6 feet, as per the following excerpts from 29CFR1926.501:
1926.501(b)(1)
Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical
surface) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above
a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems,
safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems.
1926.501(b)(2)(ii)
Each employee on a walking/working surface 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower
level where leading edges are under construction, but who is not engaged in the
leading edge work, shall be protected from falling by a guardrail system,
safety net system, or personal fall arrest system. If a guardrail system is
chosen to provide the fall protection, and a controlled access zone has already
been established for leading edge work, the control line may be used in lieu of
a guardrail along the edge that parallels the leading edge.
1926.501(b)(15)
"Walking/working surfaces not otherwise addressed." Except as
provided in 1926.500(a)(2) or in 1926.501 (b)(1) through (b)(14), each employee
on a walking/working surface 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be
protected from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system, or personal
fall arrest system.

As I See It |
|
|
|
It is
May 2022, and time to ask the questions WHERE.
To start, WHERE are the SDS (also
known as MSDS) documents for any chemicals used in your facility? It’s the law,
it’s best practices, and it’s just common sense. SDS documents are a starting
point for PPE and facility safety requirements for safe use and handling of
chemicals.
Next,
WHERE is the PPE that your workers need? First priority is that it should be on
your workers. Next, take a look at WHERE the supply and replenishment are. If
the toolroom or storeroom is far from the work area, that’s a recipe for wasted
time and resulting reduced productivity. If the PPE is scattered in open boxes
around the plant, that’s another recipe for waste. Why not put the PPE WHERE
the need is with a smart vending solution? Studies show that PPE vending pays
for itself with better accountability and record-keeping together with reduced
waste.
Also
consider the PPE WEAR factor. Smart, modern PPE must certainly deliver the
performance required on-the-job, but comfort and ergonomic factors must also be
seriously considered for workers to WEAR their PPE. As long as workers aren’t
“one size fits all”, then PPE should be, either.
The
WHERE factor also applies to facility safety – the workspace. WHERE is the
nearest emergency shower and eyewash? WHERE are hazardous and flammable
materials stored? And WHERE are the nearest first aid kit and AED? The AED
question is of particular life-saving concern since in the event of a sudden
cardiac arrest, the likelihood of survival decreases 10% per minute without
defibrillation.
Now
for the easy question – WHERE can you get help with these issues? Contact Saf-T-Gard
today for a conversation with an experienced safety specialist. We are Saf-T-Gard International - Bringing Workers Home Safely Since 1936.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Rivkin, Saf-T-Gard CEO and Chairman of the Board
