April's Training High Points

It is the time of year that insects, and critters of all sorts come out to play. This week alone, I have had installers kill a few Black Widows, one Brown Recluse, and had a Brown Recluse bite an office worker. Several snakes have been reported and a few have been killed. The bees and wasps are abundant as well as every other creepy crawly thing out there. It is time to be vigilant. Watch where you put your hands, leave your cologne at home, and don't put yourself in a position that might jeopardize your safety. Long sleeved pants and shirts are a must in the summer. Remember that if you are bitten or or stung while at work, it is considered a workplace injury and depending on the severity it may turn into a recordable injury. You need to report it immediately so your supervisor can take care of you. If bitten, don't wait, report.
Next month the majority of the Training Rapp Sessions will consist of Working in Hot Weather (and for the service industry crews, Dog Bite Prevention.
See you then, and remember."Safety first will make your safety last!"

Got any gruesome photos of spider bites you can post? Remember the scorpion I sat on in El Salvador. That was close.
