Are your Workplace Safety Requirements Met?

Workplace safety and, more importantly accident prevention, are crucial. This is not an area where risks should be taken. It is essential to ensure that workers are as well-protected as possible against workplace accidents.

To maintain a safe work environment, consider the following questions:

• Are hazardous areas and evacuation routes properly marked?
• Are work tools regularly inspected and maintained?
• Are energy sources locked out during equipment maintenance?
• Are proper spill control measures in place?

Regular equipment maintenance plays a key role in workplace safety. To perform maintenance work safely, machines must be locked out during servicing. The “Lockout/Tagout” (LOTO) procedure ensures that energy sources are locked and marked with necessary information to prevent accidental start-ups.

Creating a safe work environment requires multiple elements. Warning signs and LOTO tools alone are not enough—clear floor markings are also essential.

Floor marking tapes are ideal for marking walkways, pathways, and storage areas. They are easy to install and can withstand forklift traffic.

Well-planned marking solutions improve workflow efficiency, help reduce costs, and can even lower the number of workplace accidents. For the best results, everything from products to assets and buildings should be properly labeled.

Additionally, it is important to ensure the availability of absorbents and spill control solutions. Preventing spills in the workplace helps avoid environmental damage, accidents, and significant expenses. Absorbents and spill containment solutions quickly soak up leaks and prevent their spread. Preventative measures, such as equipping machines and tanks with barriers or collection systems, reduce risks and ensure a safer work environment.
