Miami County Safety Council September Meeting

OSHA’s Walking and Working Surface Standards affect both construction and general industry businesses. During the September meeting Jim Pellegrino, Industrial Safety Consultant with the OHIO BWC, provided details and tips to assist with compliance, accident avoidance, and awareness on this vital topic.

Slips, trips, and falls account for more general industry accidents than any other single reason and are the 2nd leading cause of workplace fatalities. Miami County employers can make a significant impact on worker safety and prevent many slip, trip, and fall injuries by creating a culture of safety awareness. More specific compliance assistance is available at https://www.OSHA.gov. Ohio employers can receive additional assistance for identifying and reducing physical hazards in their workplace with resources found HERE.  Article By: Tammy Beckett
