November 20, 2009, Newsletter Issue #193: The Mobile Handwash Station
Tip of the Week
Wash stations are commonly thought of for first aid purposes, but they do have equal value as a preventive safety measure. If your dock crew handles items such as car batteries, drums of oil, or other potentially caustic items, a wash station can prevent injuries sustained over time. A small amount of oil on a shirt sleeve, for example, may be a minor inconvenience, but over time it can work its way to the skin and cause irritation. Most material handling operations can't afford to install a wash station at every section of a dock or warehouse, but a portable wash station can definitely fit the bill in cases like these. Splinters, minor exposure to chemicals, and even simple dirt can turn into a work-stopping problem if left alone long enough. A portable wash station can be stored between work areas and utilized whenever needed. Best of all, many of these stations cost under a hundred dollars, a reasonable expenditure in workplace safety and comfort.
