I am pleased to submit a few examples of the safety measures that have been successfully implemented over the past years to enhance safety within our site:
•Damaged floor surfaces -It’s essential to maintain a safe environment to prevent trip accidents, and repairing damaged floor surfaces is a crucial step in achieving this goal. By addressing this issue promptly, we mitigate the risk of potential injuries and promote a safer workspace for everyone.
•New delivery area ( double trouble door 🙂)-Installation of door hooks and safety bars in the new delivery area, particularly for the double trouble door, to prevent it from slamming and to mitigate the risk of potential injuries. Given the high traffic in the delivery area and the nature of the double trouble door, it’s essential to implement these safety measures to ensure the well-being of our employees and visitors. Door hooks helps hold the doors open securely when needed, while safety bars will provide additional support to prevent accidental slamming and potential body injuries.
•Be Safe and Seen- Providing high-visibility packs to staff on-site is a proactive measure to promote safety, especially in environments where visibility is crucial for accident prevention. These packs often include items like reflective vests, arm bands, or stickers to enhance visibility, particularly in low-light conditions. It’s a thoughtful initiative to prioritize the well-being of staff and ensure they’re easily identifiable for their safety.
Health and Safety is our top priority at Galway University Hospital. We are committed to providing a secure environment for our staff, patients, and visitors. Together, we uphold rigorous safety standards to promote well-being and prevent accidents.
