Moving Forward While Working in a Pandemic

by | Jun 16, 2020 | Safex News

The facial coverings are a nuisance and your hands are dry from all the hand sanitizer, but you’re open again and adjusting to the new normal of working in a pandemic.

Now that things have stabilized a bit, we want to take a moment to say PHEW and remind you that our team is prepared to help your team stay safe not only from COVID-19 but other workplace hazards.

Industrial Hygiene Monitoring

If you’re used to regular IH monitoring, don’t delay scheduling. It’s important that your employees are protected from other workplace hazards like noise, dust and VOCs.

Construction Safety

Busy season is here which means now is the time to ensure crews are following OSHA regulations with our onsite inspections.

Environmental

If you’re in general industry, have you done a stormwater inspection recently? And don’t forget to update your stormwater pollution prevention plan. We can help.

Health and Safety

It’s a great time to double check that your written programs are up to date, especially those involving infectious disease preparedness.

EHS Training

The show must go on. We’re experienced with live and recorded virtual trainings and private in person training with social distancing and facial coverings. Safex’s training facility can now hold 10 people safely.

Respirator Fit Testing

We fit tested more people since January than we did in all of 2019. If new working conditions call for respiratory protection, we can medically clear, test and write programs.

Here’s What Others Are Saying
