Take 5 for Safety

Who knew they had this much stuff?

Texas has a great resource on safety – a series of short safety topics that are called, “Take 5.” These are a wide range of subjects – I don’t think I have them all, but below are the best.

You know what to do:

OSHA Has Books

(Definitely Not OSHA)

Below are a great selection of books from OSHA. These may be 20 – 100 pages and include items such as guides on what they require for training.

Note – I have included the pdf version, but if you go to the OSHA website, they also have MOBI and EPUB.

SDS Quick Card from OSHA

Here is a great reference card – great for training, posting at or near your Chemical SDS Binder (you have one of those, right?), etc.

Who knew I had no images of chemicals? But this one works.

This comes from OSHA, so it is a good idea to have their materials on hand – especially if they show up!
