October 23, 2009, Newsletter Issue #189: Giving Your Operation An Extra Safety Edge
1
Tip of the Week
Any material handling operation has its own share of fire hazards. Mounted fire extinguishers and spill kits are a given when it comes to material handling safety, but one safety item that is often overlooked is the fire blanket. This is used to quickly extinguish flames if a worker is exposed to fire. The fire blanket can also be used to snuff out small fires. It's not enough to simply hang these blankets in the same area as other material handling safety gear; workers should get training on how to properly - and safely - use a fire blanket as part of routine safety instructions. You may not think your operation has much of a fire hazard during normal operations, but vehicles can leak flammable oils and fluid, sparks can ignite packing materials, and similar situations have a way of catching workers by surprise. Having an additional weapon in your safety arsenal is well worth the expense.
