 Hello, this is Demetrius Rump, the Director of Safety and Risk Management for the City of Columbia. Today I'm here to talk about your monthly safety message for the City of Columbia employees and the public. Today I will be talking about various workplace safety topics for the month of September. As you know, about 13,000 Americans experience a work-related injury throughout the year. And I believe that they are all preventable. It is not a good deal to be doing business at the cost of an injury. So this particular month the National Safety Council will focus on these various safety topics. Number one, fatigue. Adults should average about seven to nine hours of sleep each night. When you are not getting enough sleep, it causes a decrease in work performance and you are not at the peak of your performance. So we encourage each employee to make sure they get adequate rest before they come to work. Number two, driving. Each one of our employees who operate city vehicles or equipment, they need to make sure they're operating in a safe and safe and orderly manner. Especially when you're operating in the vehicles, it is encouraged that you do not use cell phone while operating that vehicle. It is up to you to worry about your own personal safety. Number three, overexertion. Overexertion calls from employees excessively lifting heavy objects or incorrect lifting or just reaching and pulling and pushing. Make sure that you use safety lifting techniques at all times so you won't suffer an overexerted injury, especially from your back or your legs or your shoulders. And last but not least, I want everyone to know that we are in hurricane season. Make sure you know about your emergency action plans and evacuation plans at working at home because you never know when a hurricane may be coming, but it's best to be prepared and to be sorry. And make sure you pay attention to the local broadcasting and TV stations for any updates. Another item that I want to stress is workplace violence. The number one topic in the news now is active shooter. We've been conducting active shooter training here at the city now for over two years. So make sure you adhere to the instructions that we give you and maintain situational awareness at all times. If it all possible, avoid, mean evacuate, defend by barricading. And last but not least, you defend yourself. That is your last cause. So with that being said, safety starts with an S, but it begins with you. Thank you. Thanks again. And remember, we are Columbia.
