Wearing respirators, especially negative pressure respirators, can place a physiological strain on your body. Employers must ensure workers who are required to wear respirators get medically evaluated and fit tested prior to initial use and at least annually thereafter.

If your workers use fuel powered equipment, ensure to train them on the hazards of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas toxic at 200ppm and deadly at 1200ppm. Symptoms of exposure include headache, nausea, rapid breathing, weakness, exhaustion, dizziness, and confusion.

[KSV Group @KSVgroup]

We routinely find worker fatigue as an indirect cause for many of the accidents that we investigate. Physical hazards far too often become the focus of our worksites, while worker fatigue goes unidentified. #SleepAwarenessWeek #KeepEachOtherSafe #SafeguardingIndustryAssets

[National Safety Council @NSCsafety]

Safety incidents are 30% higher during night shifts. You're also at risk if you work an irregular shift, rotating schedule or long hours. Stay informed during #SleepAwarenessWeek and help #KeepEachOtherSafe!

Great tips for aerial lift usage! We often see the misuse of fall protection in aerial lifts on construction and manufacturing sites. Retractable lanyards should be used instead of 6 ft. shock absorbing lanyards when working at heights below 18.5 ft #SafeguardingIndustryAssets

[CPWR @CPWR]

When using Aerial Lifts, make sure you wear a full body harness. Learn more in our Hazard Alert: https://t.co/fgi0cTAvV7

Electronics donation and recycling is a great way to help conserve resources and natural materials. Donating or recycling consumer electronics conserves our natural resources and avoids air and water pollution, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. #RecycleReduceReuse
