Near misses and other warning signs can be opportunities to prevent something more serious. Through a new alliance, OSHA and its partners are working together to help workplaces better recognize the conditions that can lead to serious injuries and fatalities — and strengthen prevention before an incident occurs.

Psychosocial risks do not stop at the workplace door.

Their impact is equal to 1.37% of global GDP lost each year. The human cost comes first, but the economic cost is impossible to ignore.

When sourced responsibly, PPE contributes to a safer, more productive workforce.

PPE isn’t just about compliance - it’s about keeping people well, engaged, and performing at their best.

Have you implemented control measures to eliminate or reduce respiratory hazards?

Is there still a need for RPE?

Do you know how to select the right RPE?

Advice for employers 🔗 https://t.co/5PJfLQwKgf

🔵 RPE must be both adequate & suitable to ensure the wearer is protected

[BSIF @BSIF1]

Musculoskeletal disorders are common in the workplace

Your risk assessment should cover all standard operations and reflect how the work is actually done

Don't forget cleaning and maintenance activities

Focus on task, load, working environment and individual capability

[BSIF @BSIF1]

RPE will not protect a worker unless it is right for the hazard, the task and the wearer

It is therefore crucial that you select the correct RPE

It is a legal requirement that workers using tight fitting RPE are fit tested by a competent person

As an Occupational Health Physician working in an industrial set-up,
I’m starting today to share insights on Occupational Health – a clinical discipline where work, exposure, and disease intersect.

- In MBBS, Occupational Medicine/Health is usually just a 10-page chapter in Community Medicine (PSM).

- That’s the only exposure most of us get to OH in our entire MBBS curriculum.

- In reality, Occupational Health is a crucial part of overall health, affecting workers, families, and industries alike.

So, let’s dive in and explore Occupational Health – starting today.
