Santa received a notice of violation( 1926.102) lack of PPE – Eye and Face Protection. This is #10 on OSHA’s TopTen violations for 2019.
The industrial revolution provided us with many great inventions of machinery. Machinery is great because it helps to do the jobs of drilling, sanding, polishing, cutting, shaping, bending a lot easier and more efficiently. However, as most machines do, they are also loud and noisy when used which creates a new set of problems.
As you can see, the elf busy drilling holes is not wearing any PPE. In this environment, how many kinds of PPE should the elves be wearing? At least,
- Safety goggles or face shield – Prevents the wood chips from the drilling entering your eye creating serious sight issues or from hitting your face.
- Dust mask – Prevents you from inhaling wood sawdust into your lungs.
- Earplugs or other hearing protection – Prevents the loud noises from damaging your ears and hearing.
Can you think of any other PPE? Will this be enough to fix this ticket let alone save Santa’s workshop? Find out tomorrow. On the Second Day.
