though an OR needs to come from regular reminders and educational ses-
sions.
Safety training that addresses the physical limitations of your facility shouldn't
be limited to new hires' orientations and annual in-services. Incorporate the
reminders into daily morn-
ing huddles, which offer
opportunities to address
and possibly resolve your
staff's safety concerns and
remind them of recent inci-
dents or near-misses that
provide lessons of how
injuries could occur.
If your employees have
been unfortunate enough
to experience or witness
an on-the-job slip, trip and
fall injury, you might even
want to recreate the inci-
dent as a safety drill, to
make them aware of the
consequences of momen-
tary missteps and to invite
feedback on actively cor-
recting the situation to pre-
vent it from happening
again.
