Did You Know That Stress Makes You Prone to Accidents?

The statistics from every industry say the same thing - stress is a leading cause of accidents in the workplace. And stress is a cause in home accidents as well!

When you’re feeling stress, you don't think clearly and you’re likely to forget simple things.

The brain can only take so much and this stress load is over-riding everything else.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that:

• 25% of workers view their jobs as the greatest source of stress

• 26% have already experienced job burnout

• 40% of workers label their job duties as very stressful

• 75% of workers think that job stress is much worse than it was for workers in the previous generation

Do you agree with how the workers in this study view job stress? If you do, you’re not alone in feeling stress at work.

When you feel stressed, you can protect yourself and others by:

• Slowing down and double checking the process

• Read and re-read any safety directions, even if you already think you know it. Under stress, your brain is distracted

• Ask for help if you feel the task is too much for you

• Ask a colleague to double check the process

• Don't agree to learn a new task or operate new equipment when you feel stressed. You won't retain the information well.

• Take breaks away from the task and relax. Your mind needs to step down from alert status and rest before resuming the task.

Workplace stress isn't something you tough out to prove your worth. Working under stress places you and your co-workers at risk for industrial accidents.

Even if you don't drive a forklift, you can cause just as much damage by not thinking it out as you reach for a heavy box and drop it on someone's head.

"You are a life Saver!!

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.
