PROTECT STAFF AND CUSTOMERS

Designate one employee from each work shift to be the safety coordinator. This person will make all decisions relating to employee and customer safety and to the safety of the business itself. Safety coordinators should know how to contact the owner or operator at all times.

Everyone in your facility should know how to prepare for a disaster and what to do if a disaster occurs. Contact your local Red Cross chapter to organize specialized health and safety training classes or for specific information about how to stay safe in a tornado, earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane or other hazard.
