Wigan firm hopes new campaign will prevent workplace accidents

Johnsons 1871’s Think Safe – Work Safe campaign encourages staff to adopt a health and safety mindset to prevent accidents.

Quality, safety, health and environment director Stuart Williams said: “Sometimes accidents just happen. But sometimes, accidents happen because individuals risk their own health and safety or that of others by doing things they shouldn’t.

“One example of this might be not ensuring that they’re wearing the correct PPE before beginning work on a job or entering an area where there’s danger of injury. Improper lifting, walking off the designated pedestrian walkways or not using safety equipment can also cause problems.

“Unsafe working conditions – such as debris and litter on floors, electrical leads that have been laid in walkways and working in poorly lit for poorly ventilated areas – are high risk for accidents.”
