As we begin a new year at LLUH, we also begin a new year of injury counts. As the Occupational Safety Technician, one task is to keep track of the OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses. Our goal this year is to see a 20% reduction in OSHA recordable injuries and illnesses. We believe this goal can be met; however, there is one major component we need… YOU!
With your help we have hundreds of eyes to observe, find, and inspect, as well as, remove, eliminate, and correct a potential injury/illness hazard. In our eyes, you are the front line and you are the experts in knowing the potential hazards within your departments. If the hazard seems too far out of reach or bigger than one person should handle, call for back up. The EH&S department will stand by and give the support you deserve in promoting a safe environment.
