Push vs. Pull

May 10, 2007

New Safety Short topic

It's better to push it than pull it. That's the focus of the newest Safety Short, a series of timely, concise topics to help Laboratory workers stay safe at home and at work.

"This next Safety Short - Push vs. Pull - describes ways we can protect ourselves by choosing to push instead of pull whenever we can," says Kerith Stender of Industrial Hygiene and Safety (IHS) Division, ergonomics team leader. "Regardless of whether we push or pull, it's important for everyone to take the time to protect themselves and do it safely."

The Web-based Safety Short provides a video and a flier, as well as other tools, which are available at http://int.lanl.gov/safety/safetyshort online. Together these tools help people in presenting the Safety Short during organizational safety meetings, tailgate meetings, and Nested Safety and Security meetings.

For questions or suggestions regarding the Safety Short content, the toolkit, or future topics, contact Robin Nicholas of IHS Division at safetyshort@lanl.gov by electronic mail.
