WORKING FROM HOME SAFETY REMINDERS

Does your business have staff working from home? Are there processes in place to ensure staff working from home are working safely? Do staff that work from home complete monthly safety inspections of their workstation and forward results to their employer?

It is critical for all staff that work from home to have a clear written agreement in place outlining their responsibilities and safety requirements. The National Safety Council has provided some valuable safety reminders:

Do you have a working smoke detector nearby?
Do you have fire extinguishers at home, and do you know how to use them?
Do you have an evacuation plan in place in the event of a fire?
Is your floor clear of hazards?
Is your chair adjusted so your feet rest flat on the floor and your knees are level with your hips?
Is your monitor approximately an arm’s length in front of you at your home workstation?
Do you work in poor lighting conditions or exposed to glare on your monitor?

Industry Perception Survey for MSA Members

MSA designed our own safety perception survey years ago as a tool for our member companies to measure and benchmark the current state of safety culture in their workplaces. It takes a snapshot of participants “perceived perception” and is an anonymous process that allows the entire workplace to weigh in and provide valuable input.

MSA invites you to complete an industry specific safety perception survey. Click on the link below to participate in the survey: Industry Perception Survey

How “SAFETY” is perceived is a strong indicator of the Safety Culture within any organization, which directly affects staff morale and performance.

Perception survey results are recorded in confidence and all results are anonymous. An industry summarization report of survey results will be shared in December.

If you are interested in having the safety culture of your organization measured using our safety perception survey, please contact MSA to start the process.
