New Resources to Enhance Workplace Safety
Environmental Health and Safety is excited to announce the development of two valuable resources designed to enhance workplace safety practices.
Compressed Gas Cards
The Compressed Gas Safety Cards provide essential information on properly handling and storing compressed gases. These cards outline key safety precautions, emergency procedures, and best practices to ensure that everyone is aware of potential hazards associated with these materials in a more concise and user-friendly format.
Understanding and adhering to these guidelines is critical in preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment. The cards are very beneficial for departments that employ inexperienced staff and an excellent resource for experienced ones.

Equipment Maintenance Log
The Equipment Maintenance Log is designed to help track equipment maintenance and inspection schedules. Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of tools and machinery. By keeping thorough records, you can extend your equipment's lifespan and enhance your operations' overall safety. Having an updated maintenance log will also make it easier to provide maintenance data during inspections/audits, e.g., Shop/Lab safety inspections, accident investigations, Cal OSHA investigations, etc.

Utilizing these resources can play a vital role in maintaining a workplace safety culture. They empower employees to take an active role in safety practices and help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
We encourage everyone to take full advantage of these materials. If you are interested in obtaining physical copies of the log books or the safety cards, please contact the General and Occupational Safety Group.
