NOt Safe For Work
As outlined by OSHA code, violations can include storing water in unsanitary containers that are not designed for drinking wa- ter (remember the trend some years ago of guides using camp stove fuel bottles for drinking water?), failing to protect water sources from contamination (i.e., employees placing hands into coolers to retrieve ice), and allowing water to be exposed to potentially harmful substances. Inadequate cleaning or maintenance of water storage contain- ers, such as water coolers or dispensers as well as reusable water bottles, can constitute improper handling of drinking water. Strictly speaking, if your operation does not have pro- cedures and training for handling potable water and for the If an employee is required to undertake a task, employers must provide training to employees on workplace hazards, emergency procedures, and equipment use involved in that task, whether that task is as simple as weed whacking or as involved as working at height.
nately, they are woefully common, and therefore an import- ant area to which we must pay attention.
8. Unsafe Ladder Use
Ladders are a common cause of workplace injuries, particu- larly when used improperly. Like being electrocuted, getting seriously injured on a ladder is easy—simply allow the use of ladders that are damaged or missing steps, place ladders on unstable surfaces, fail to secure ladders properly, overreach while on a ladder, carry heavy objects while climbing, or use the top rung of a ladder as a standing work surface, and grav- ity will be happy to make you regret your choice.
These types of improper ladder-use practices are common and should be an area that employers address with training.
9. Improper Handling of Potable Water
This is another area that most of us don’t think about very of- ten, but that needs our attention. OSHA is the acronym for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. And nothing is more important to the health of our employees than providing clean water and clean water containers for their use. It’s em- barrassing to consider how easy it is to violate OSHA require- ments for properly storing or handling drinking water.
