In the world of industrial safety, the Hierarchy of Controls has proven effective in reducing injury-causing exposures. But, even in the safest of workplaces, all hazards can’t be eliminated. Statistically, most injuries affecting our workers occur in places where these controls aren’t always available. In other words, you can’t bubble-wrap the world. So, what else can be done to protect our workers? One of the best strategies is the development of personal safety skills. By doing so, even in constantly changing and “uncontrolled” environments outside of the workplace, workers will be able to better protect themselves.
