On behalf of the Bhate Safety Department, below is the Weekly Safety Message:
There is so much noise and distraction in the world around us. Whether it is at home or at work, we have so much on our minds as well as things going on around us that we miss a lot of important details. It is critical to slow down and be able to observe the environment around you while are at work to be able to safely perform tasks.
How many times have you tripped over something you did not see or turn around and get startled because someone was in your area that you were not aware of? It happens to many of us often. Depending on what is preoccupying our mind, our emotions, the distractions around us, the noise levels in our area, etc. will determine how much of our ability to be observant is affected. The less able we are to be observant, the higher our chances are to be injured on the job by a unrecognized hazard.
