Spring Cleaning Safety

As we embark on cleaning & maintenance tasks during this time of year, its essential to raise awareness about potential hazards & precautions to ensure everyone's safety. Some key tips are as follows:

• Ladder Safety-proper ladder usage, inspect for defects, 3 points of contact, and securing ladder to stable ground
• Chemical Safety-Guidance on handling and storing chemicals in or around your work area, wearing appropriate PPE and ensuring adequate ventilation
• Ergonomics-proper lifting techniques to prevent injuries
• Slip, Trip, and Fall Prevention-highlight the importance of keeping work areas clean, free of clutter, promptly reporting and cleaning up of spills, using the appropriate           caution signs
• Electrical Safety-avoid overloading outlets, inspect cords for damage
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)-reinforce the use of PPE
• Fire Safety-review fire evacuation procedures with your team

Here at Moody Gardens we want to promote a culture of safety and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries during this busy time of the year. Stay Safe!

April 2024- Fire Alarm & Evacuations

In the event of a fire or evacuation at work, remember these tips:

1. If you see fire or smoke, pull the nearest fire alarm.

2. Remain calm and never allow the fire to come between you and the nearest exit.

3. Call Security on the radio and announce a Code 1 - Fire and give your location.  

4. Security will notify the Fire Department.

5. Upon hearing the alarm, evacuate using the nearest exit.  Evacuate in a calm manner, assist guests and other employees that may need help exiting.

6. Employees should assemble at the area pre-designated by their department manager.

7. Any unaccounted for staff or guests should be reported to Security.

8. Keep a safe distance from the building/danger area.  Staff members should reassure guests that the situation is being taken care of

9. Do not return to the building/area until the all clear has been given.

10. Never assume that because an alarm stops sounding the building/area is safe to enter.

Check with your supervisor for more details on fires and evacuations.
