National Safety Month: Secure Your Workplace with EB Horsman & Son

June marks National Safety Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of safety in the workplace and beyond. As we observe this significant month, we want to highlight the critical role safety plays in our daily lives and share valuable products to help keep you and the ones around you safe.

Safety is not just a regulatory requirement; it’s a fundamental aspect of a healthy and productive work environment. Whether you’re in a manufacturing facility, construction site, or office setting, prioritizing safety protects employees from accidents and injuries, reduces downtime, and enhances overall productivity. Moreover, fostering a culture of safety demonstrates a company’s commitment to its most valuable asset – its people. To uphold our commitment to safety, we prioritize thorough training and certification processes for our warehouse team. To ensure the safety of our employees, we make sure that all our warehouse staff possess the appropriate licenses to operate machinery. That’s why more than 16 of our employees in the warehouse are certified in machine operations like forklifts and powered pallet trucks.

Additionally, employees are equipped with proper gear to ensure their protection, including high-visibility vests and closed-toed shoes. This ensures that they are visible and properly protected while working in potentially hazardous environments.

Promoting Safety Awareness

1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear the appropriate PPE for your job, such as safety glasses, helmets, gloves, and hearing protection.
2. Practice Proper Lifting Techniques: Bend your knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs when picking up heavy objects to prevent back injuries.
3. Conduct Regular Safety Training: Ensure that employees receive comprehensive training on safety protocols and procedures relevant to their roles.
4. Encourage Open Communication: Foster a culture where employees feel comfortable reporting safety concerns and offering suggestions for improvement.

Stay Safe With Surge Protection Devices

Power surges pose significant risks to both your electronics and property, potentially leading to devastating consequences such as fires. Surge protection devices are vital in defending your home against these dangers. By installing surge protectors, you can effectively shield your electronics and appliances from the damaging effects of power surges. These devices serve as a barrier, redirecting excess voltage away from your valuable equipment, thereby ensuring the safety of your property and the well-being of those around you.
