One citation can set companies back anywhere from $5,000 to $500,000. Moreover, workers’ compensation claims and lawsuits can devastate budgets and threaten companies’ futures.

Managers of high-risks jobs, such as industrial operations and maintenance, need to be especially mindful and careful. What are the best ways to avoid costly worker injuries and illnesses in dangerous environments?

Eliminate Electrical and Fire Hazards

The Electrical Safety Foundation International states it plainly, “Approximately 62% of an estimated 32,807 nonfatal electrical injuries occurring between 1992 and 1998 were classified as electric shock

Industrial supplies each have a specific use for which they’re intended for. An electrical conduit, which is tubing used for electric wiring, is used to accurately and safely transfer energy through wiring, while nylon nuts are often used for pieces of machinery that are frequently taken apart because they’re durable enough to screw and unscrew regularly.

But why not use some of these for fun craft projects? Sure, you can use grommets, which are rings inserted through tin material to protect wiring, strings and inserts, much like the small grommets used in shoes for laces (that are called eyelets), or rubber grommets of the right size for accurate and effective installation, but what’s the fun in that?

Instead, here’s a fun project f
