Monday, July 27: Wearing safety glasses at all times during your workday is your best
insurance against a painful eye injury. Be sure to have both tinted and clear lenses so
ambient light level will never be a factor in the decision to protect your eyes. #2015LSAW
Tuesday, July 28: The biggest climate related threat for locating technicians is heat. Stay
ahead of heat stress by staying hydrated, taking regular breaks to cool off, and by wearing
clothing that will help your body cool itself. #2015LSAW
Wednesday, July 29: Wearing long pants and work gloves will provide solid protection
against most stinging and poisonous plants as well as against most cut, scrape and scratch
hazards. #2015LSAW
Thursday, July 30: The vast majority of underground utility vaults accessible via manhole
cover meet OSHA’s definition of a permit-required confined space. These spaces should
NEVER be entered without proper training and equipment. #2015LSAW
Friday, July 31: Investing in high-quality, good fitting shoes or boots will go a long way
toward avoiding walking injuries like blisters, shin splints, tendinitis, planter fasciitis, and
general soreness and stiffness. #2015LSAW
