"OSHA inspectors are people, too," says Pete Flatten, CSP, M.S., M.Ed. of Tuff Shed, Inc. "They have good and bad days, they don’t know what they don’t know, and they are trying to help keep people safe. "If they see that you are a good manager who is trying to take care of his/her people, they will be more likely to work with you. However, if you treat them rudely, and it is pretty evident that you aren’t taking care of your employees, they will be less likely to work with you." #Safety #Leadership #WorkplaceSafety #OSHA #Compliance #Regulations #EHSToday

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 **INDIGO'S DAILY SAFETY TOPICS** 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 The topic for today is a critical one - OSHA confined space. In the industrial safety landscape, OSHA confined space regulations play an indispensable role. Failure to strictly adhere to these guidelines can have potentially fatal consequences. I want to dispel misconceptions and provide some clarity about these regulations and why they exist. OSHA confined spaces aren’t simply about regulatory compliance, they’re about saving lives. Supporting these regulations is crucial in maintaining workers' safety. 💼 Here are a few key points to remember: 1. Accidents in confined spaces often occur due to neglect or ignorance of OSHA regulations. Understanding and enforcing these rules can significantly reduce accidents. 2. Regular worker training is invaluable. Workers knowledgeable about potential dangers are less likely to be involved in confined space accidents. 🚧 3. Routine facility inspections play a key role. A facility that is inspected often can detect potential dangers sooner and take corrective action. Considering the importance of OSHA confined spaces in accident prevention, it’s clear why these regulations deserve our utmost respect and adherence. Safety is a shared responsibility and we must all collectively strive to maintain the highest standards of safety and health in our workplaces, for everyone's benefit. Remember, behind every rule and regulation is a valuable life that could be saved. 💔 Now for a bit of introspection: 1. Would your organization pass an unannounced OSHA inspection today? 2. How often does your organization conduct worker safety training? Let's continue the conversation below! #WorkplaceSafety #OSHA #ConfinedSpaces #SafetyFirst #IndustrialSafety #SafetyRegulations #SafetyTraining #WorkplaceWellness 🚧⚠️👷‍♂️👷‍♀️💼🛠️💡🔎

OSHA Safety Tip 🦺 Please wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at the workplace. It is crucial for safeguarding individuals from potential hazards. PPE is a critical line of defense against injuries, illnesses, and exposure to dangerous conditions. Wearing the right PPE for the job is not just about compliance; it’s about ensuring everyone goes home safe and healthy! #OSHA #Safety #Tips #PPE #Compliance #DCI #DepotConnectInternational

Do you clearly mark control zones for every emergency incident to establish a cold zone, warm zone, hot zone and no entry zone? The proposed OSHA 1910.156 rule would require this. If this would be problematic for your organization, click here and tell OSHA why this is not feasible: https://lnkd.in/gZYmZasS
