Protecting Your Employees from Unforseen Threats with All Purpose Safety Tags
The modern American workforce has done a pretty good job of predicting and addressing the most common threats to worker safety. Certainly accidents happen and in some industries they are more prevalent than others. That being said, the past 100 years has been virtual revolution for worker safety. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for the expressed purpose “to save lives, prevent injuries and protect the health of America’s workers.” OSHA, as the are more commonly called, is serious about its mission. To run afoul of OSHA as an employer is to gift yourself a really bad day. However, to watch one of your employees suffer injury that could have been prevented is the worst. You know about many of the threats facing your team and yet, it is the threats you have yet to foresee that keep you up at night.
All Purpose Safety Tags
OSHA might have taken its mission quite seriously, but they did stop short of mandating every safety recommendation down to the letter. For instance, their standards don’t mandate certain colors be used on accident prevent tags, but they do recommend a specific color scheme. Red means danger, yellow means caution and orange means warning if they were to have their way. What they do ask for is consistency within an organization. This means that an employee should be able to understand a purple tag and recognize it as nothing other than its intended purpose wherever it might be in the facility. This brings us to our selection of All Purpose Safety Tags.
