It's 2019, and one of the great things about the start of the new year is that it's the perfect time to reevaluate! When it comes to workplace safety, it's time to get rid of office items that may have become hazardous. If you’re having trouble on where to start, we've created a few guidelines that can help!
Create a List
Prepare a list of all the items that you need to update. Take a stroll through your office and ask yourself: Do you stock enough first aid kits? Are defibrillators easily accessible? Check the recharge dates on fire extinguishers. Take note of supply closets and the hazards of high shelving or stacked boxes.
Hold a Meeting
After you have created your list, hold a meeting. Never forget that your greatest resources are your employees! They are on the scene everyday. They have noticed if a pathway become particularly icy in the winter or if dust builds up in a certain corner.
Stock New Supplies
Once you have a thorough understanding of needed updates, you can start ordering new supplies! With Garvey’s Office Products, you can place your safety orders right when you order your office supplies!
