Deck the halls ... safely

Safety is important during the holiday season, whether at home or in the work environment. As employees prepare for the festivities and decorations that go along with fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Loma Linda University Health department of environmental health and safety wants to make sure everyone knows what is appropriate and safe in the work environment.

To establish what is acceptable within workspaces this holiday season, the department sent out a Safety Matters Newsletter explaining Loma Linda University Health decorating policies.

“We must be safe at home — it’s true, but work is not different. In fact, at work we must be especially cautious of safety regulations,” Vicki Brown, safety programs coordinator, shared. “This is to keep all our facilities in compliance with the city, state and federal fire codes and to keep everyone safe while on our campus. It is a big job and it takes everyone working together to do so.”
