Keeping Workers Safe in an Emergency

When there is an emergency at your institution - whether it's a burst pipe that only affects your building, or a hurricane that affects the entire coast - you should always consider the safety of yourself and your staff first. When it comes to health and safety, there is no better resource than OSHA. This page of fact sheets and quick reference cards does a lot of the safety research for a wide range of situations, whether you need to keep employees safe from heat-related illnesses or ensure good hand hygiene whether or not you have access to clean water.
