The month of May is Safety Month at Cooper – a time for creating heightened awareness through health and safety focused activities.

Just as we did last year, we have chosen a theme for each week of May.

May 1 to 7 – SEE IT. LOG IT. FIX IT.

May 8 to 14 – SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

May 9 to 21 – SAFE DRIVING

May 22 to 28 – FIRST AID

Hazards can be encountered anywhere, whether it be at work or at home.  Knowing how to proactively identify, evaluate and control them can go a long way in preventing incidents or injuries from occurring.  At Cooper, we do this through many different avenues:

• Field Level Hazard Assessments are completed daily by our workers in safety-sensitive roles.  This assists them in starting their day off with safety at top of mind.
• Workplace inspections are a structured way to focus on finding hazards that exist which may not be noticed during the day to day tasks.
• Employees submit near miss/hazard identifications through eCompliance as a way to formally log the hazards they are coming across in their daily activities.

At daily Toolbox Talks during this first week of May our branch managers will be calling out and celebrating safe behaviors with the team.

We will also have a guest speaker from Threads of Life join us for a Cooper university session.
