Safe Behaviors
We all share the responsibility of “keeping our house clean.” I am referring to our homes, yards, vehicles, workplace, and any support or outbuilding you may enter at any time. Several items can be seen during an inspection of any MFV facility, for example: spills on the floor—which may cause someone to slip and fall; small items (bolt, gate rod, power tool) in a walkway or just on the floor- which could cause someone to trip and fall; an entrance rug or mat that is folded up or in the doorway—which may cause someone to trip or lose their balance and fall. Again, caring for each other at work or home is everyone's job. Ensure you watch where you step and take the time to correct any hazards that you may encounter.
