Optional Fields
In the Safety Committee we review all workplace accidents and near misses and discuss preventative measures.
The majority of our injuries fall in the facilities department so we focus most of our safety training for those groups of employees. Each year we do safety training that usually includes a section on Ergonomics and Stretching for prevention purposes. The Associate Director of Human Resources also meets with each injured employee and assist in filing a work comp claim if needed and follow the claim until it is closed to ensure the employee is getting all the proper benefits and care they need to get healthy again.
We also introduced a free class for custodial and maintenance staff to learn how to stretch properly and strengthen their core for better to prevent injuries during the work day.
