With our busiest month approaching, we are all under extra stress. This added stress can increase the number and severity of injuries if we don’t pay attention to the hazards of rushing through tasks.
 
Being rushed can distract your attention from hazards you would normally recognize.
 
What you can do reduce hazards:
-Take a 4-second “reset” before starting a familiar task. This act of refocusing has been shown to reduce the probability of an injury incident by more than 90% versus not taking the 4 seconds.
-Continue to follow all safe work practices and procedures. Don’t take shortcuts
To Sign up or for any questions on how you or a group can get involved please connect with our Volunteer Resource team:
