April's training - Preventing Sprains & Strains!



COARC is committed to having a safe work environment. 
 In order to have a safe work environment we must all adhere to the following guidelines;


 Every individual will be trained to perform work safely. Should an individual feel inadequately 
 trained to perform a certain procedure, he or she will immediately seek clarification with his or her 
 supervisor.


 Maintaining a safe and healthful work environment is not just a statement; it is a high priority and 
 must be a part of every work process.


 It is everyone's job to spot hazards and to correct or report them in a timely manner. Specifically,
 when an unsafe condition is identified, the first priority is to take measures to prevent a potential 
 injury that could arise as a result of the unsafe condition. Once injury prevention measures have
 been taken, employees are to notify a supervisor and program manager of the unsafe condition.


 Every work-related accident must be reported using a staff injury report form within 24 hours of 
 the incident.


 As a condition of employment, each employee must work consistently in a safe manner that is in 
 alignment with COARC policies and procedures.


Prevention
Booster Seats - Fact Sheet
Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for children ages 6 to 14—a fact that can be linked, at least in part, to the unfortunate reality that many, if not most, children are improperly restrained, or worse yet, not restrained at all, while riding in motor vehicles.
