WHAT'S NEW AT THE "SAFETY DOCTOR?"
Hi friends and
colleagues,
The “Doctor is Out” making
safety presentations on “Safe and Secure Travels: Across Town or Across the
Globe." Companies realize that their staff on the road can reduce their
risks by taking precautions while they travel. Plus, organizations have been
using this topic for their “spouse programs” at conventions…………..even in
your community, there are safety precautions drivers can take to reduce the risks of
accidents, car hijacking, purse theft, etc.
If your organization is
looking for “hot safety topics” for keynotes, seminars or workshops, contact
“The Safety Doctor” today.

| PERSONAL SAFETY TIP
Spring rains on the
roadways and balding tires cause skidding and hydroplaning of your vehicle.
Slow down when the roads are wet and take time to check the tread on your
tires to ensure you are on safe ground.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
CHECKLIST
This checklist, courtesy of the South
Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, can be used in
conjunction with 29 CFR 1910 to test your compliance with the general
industry standard for electrical safety.
Note that this checklist
is only a guide; compliance with it does not necessarily assure full
compliance with all OSHA standards, nor is it a substitute for a
comprehensive health and safety program.
1. Are electrical splices made using suitable
splicing devices or by brazing, welding or soldering with a fusible metal
alloy, and covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductor?
1910.303(c)
2. Is each disconnecting means for motors and
appliances and each service, feeder and branch circuit legibly marked to
identify its purpose?
1910.303(f)
