Make a New Year’s Resolution for Safety
Tip written by: Infraspection Institute

With the New Year upon us, many of us will follow the tradition of resolving to change or better ourselves. With this Tip, we offer suggestions for making job safety a priority.

The New Year is symbolic for many reasons. For some, the New Year represents a fresh start or new beginning. For others, it provides an opportunity to rededicate one’s self to a set of goals or principles. The New Year provides a perfect opportunity for thermographers to take stock of workplace safety practices and procedures. In doing so, be sure to keep the following in mind:

  • Review safety procedures to ensure that they are complete and current
  • Ensure that safety training is up-to-date for all personnel including First Aid and CPR
  • Physically inspect all Personal Protective Equipment to ensure it is in good condition
  • Check calibration and/or replacement dates for all monitoring or test equipment

Lastly, resolve to make safety your number one priority each and every day. Safety is not a poster, a slogan, or a set of actions to be followed only when it is convenient. Rather, safety is a way of life that affects not only you but those around you.

Thermographer safety is one of the many topics covered in the Level I Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer® training course. For information on thermographer training including course locations and dates, visit us online at www.infraspection.com or call us at 609-239-4788.
