10 Safety Moments to Follow

Now that we know how essential safety moments are. We have provided you with a list
of 10 safety moments that you can use in your workplace.

1. ABCs of Heavy Lifting


Always use proper form when lifting heavy objects. Bend your knees, keep your back
straight, and hold the object you are lifting close to your body.

Proper Body posture is essential to avoid any back or joint pain

 When sitting: Keep your feet flat on the ground and use a chair with good lumbar (lower
back) support
 When standing: Keep your weight evenly distributed between both feet and avoid
standing in one spot for too long

2. Stay Alert
Be aware of your surroundings and what is happening around you. Keep an eye out for
potential hazards and take caution when necessary.

When walking in an area where you are not familiar, be sure to take your time and look
around. Pay attention to your surroundings and be aware of what is going on around
you.

3. Wear Appropriate Clothing


Make sure you are wearing clothing that is appropriate for the tasks you will be
performing.

Avoid loose clothing that could get caught in machinery, and always wear safety
gear when necessary. These includes:
 Gloves
 Safety goggles
 Helmets
 High visibility vest
 Protective boots

4. Use Handrails When Climbing or Walking


Whenever possible, use handrails to help maintain your balance when walking up or
downstairs.

This will help prevent slips and falls especially when you are in a rush or when the floor
is slippery.

5. Parking Lot Safety


The parking lot can be a risky area, make sure to be alert and cautious when walking
through.

Below are some basic safety tips when in the parking lot area:

 Park your car in a well-lit area


 Bring your valuables with you if you can or hide them safely in locked storage in your
car
 Always remember to lock your doors and roll up your windows
 Be attentive and alert

6. Ladder Safety
Always use a ladder safely. Make sure the ladder is the proper height, the footing is
stable, and that you are using the ladder for its intended purpose.
Avoid rushing when going down to prevent falls. If possible, ask a co-worker to help you
when going up and down a ladder.

7. Slips, Trips, and Falls


Be sure to watch out for wet or icy surfaces. Always use caution when walking in these
areas.

If you do fall, try to relax and fall into a fetal position. This will help reduce the number of
injuries sustained.
8. Fire Safety
Make sure you know where the nearest exit is in case of a fire. Remember to stay calm
if there is a fire. If there is heavy smoke, crawl your way to the exit to avoid inhaling it.
Exit the building in an orderly fashion. Do not stop to collect personal belongings.

9. Chemical Safety
When working with chemicals, be sure to read the safety data sheet first. Always handle
it with care and store it in a safe place.
Wear the correct personal protective equipment and follow all safety instructions.

10. Check-in Procedures


Check-in procedures are essential for ensuring the safety of lone workers, especially
during late hours.
Make sure to have a system in place for checking in with these employees, such as
regular phone calls or check-in visits.
