How should plant manager encourage the workers to wear goggles? Would it be advisable for the firm to review its health and safety program? How should the firm go about identifying hazardous conditions that should be rectified?
Employees' safety and health are very important matters in the laundry and cleaning business.This is because chemical vapors are continually produced and caustic chemicals are used in the cleaning process. If a mistake is made in the cleaning process, like injecting too much steam into the still, a boilover occurs, in which boiling chemical solvents erupt out of the still and on the floor, and on anyone who happens to be standing in its way. As a result of these hazards, the OSHS has instituted strict guidelines regarding the management of the company. This includes posting announcements/posters to inform employees of their right to be told what hazardous chemicals they are dealing with and what the proper methods are in handling each chemical.
The problem with the company is the unwillingness on the part of the cleaning spotting workers to wear safety goggles because for them, wearing goggles can be troublesome. They are somewhat uncomfortable, and they also become smudged easily and thus cut down on visibility. As a result, the plant manager has always found it almost impossible to get these employees to wear their goggles.
