There are many jobs that are dangerous, and labor-intensive jobs come with a lot of risks. Employees take safety training classes and learn procedures so they can stay safe. If a few Klamath Falls jobs do not do that, you should notify a supervisor immediately; however, it is still important to stay safe in all jobs. Here are a few suggestions for keeping safe while working at Klamath Falls jobs near me.
Exits
Exits
First, make sure you know where all the emergency exits are and that they are all clear. You never know when you're going to need to make a quick exit because a fire can start, or a shooter can come in. If you don't know where all the emergency exits are in your workplace, ask your supervisor.
Extension Cords
Extension Cords
These are tough. Extension cords can get easily tangled because of poor placement which can lead to them being bundled up in corners. If not treated with care, extension cords can combust. It is important to make sure all work areas are clear and clean. If you see extension cords that are not being correctly used, notify a supervisor.
Space
Space
Along with extension cords, make sure there is enough space for everything. Don't continue to stack stuff on each other because it creates possible dangerous situations. Confined spaces can be hazardous so it is imperative that your workspace have enough space to move around.
Ladders
Ladders
To avoid using ladders, try keeping things that are used more frequently on lower shelves. Don't keep frequently used equipment in high places because this can increase the chances of dangerous situations occurring.
Label
Label
Make sure all equipment is labeled properly. This is especially important for chemicals, such as cleaning supplies, due to the risk of poisoning or chemical burns. Companies should have a Hazmat handbook informing you of what they are, their purpose, their hazards, and where they should be located. It also should show you what to do if a safety hazard should occur. Ask your supervisor if they have everything properly labeled and contain a handbook.
Fire Hazards
Fire Hazards
It is important to safely store hazardous material prone to combustion. These materials should be kept far away from anything that could ignite them. Combustible materials can be found in a variety of workplace settings, so regardless of the industry your Klamath Falls employment is in, make sure they are being properly stored.
