Please find the attached safety alert that describes an incident that occurred at McMurdo Station. This alert describes a situation where an employee was removing a metal cover that was stuck in place. Additional effort was applied to the removal (brute force). When the cover slid free the additional force caused the cover to strike the employee in the head. This is a situation that everyone can learn from. Please utilize this safety alert to generate a conversation about how to avoid the use of brute force in your work center. In addition please discuss practical examples of how you can remain outside of the line of fire of hazards while conducting tasks.
Thanks,
