Save the Date! Join us for Safe + Sound Week, August 13-19, 2018

What is your company planning for safe and sound week this year?

OSHA has lots of ideas and tools to help you!

We will be playing "Spot the Hazard" all week, how about you?

Here are a few ways you can find and fix hazards during Safe + Sound Week. Pick the one that works best for you:

• Spotlight hazards and controls (PDF)

• Create challenges, contests, and competitions (PDF)

• Evaluate safety and health processes and systems (PDF)

• Conduct analyses to identify hazards (PDF)

My personal favorite is Play “spot the hazard”:

Create an image to post in your company newsletter or break room that includes common hazards found in your workplace. Ask employees to identify the hazards and make suggestions for fixing them.

You could also form teams or challenge shifts to find—and propose solutions to fix—hazards in their workspace.

Teams could also compete for a high score on OSHA’s interactive Hazard Identification Training Tool, designed to teach the core concepts of hazard identification. You should provide feedback on the hazards that are identified and controls that are suggested.

Award prizes to those who find the most hazards or come up with the best solutions.
