Safety message for facility services staff

I've been having many discussions lately, both verbal and email, on the topic of management support for occupational safety throughout our system campuses. One recent example of a clear message of management support for safety over expediency comes from the latest newsletter for UW-Milwaukee's Facility Services Department. On page one, director Dave Danielson gives both general support to the safety attitude he wants from his employees, and specifically mentions certain tasks and injury causes for extra attention.

In addition to that safety endorsement, page 4 discusses back safety and makes use of the signage developed by UW-Madison. (Jeff Nytes from UW-Madison presented an overview of their back safety program at our recent campus meeting in September.) Page 5 has a report on campus sustainability issues.
