Occupational Safety

Tough Lifting Jobs

Oversized loads: do not try to carry a big load alone; ask for help. Work as a team by lifting, walking and lowering the load together. Let one person call the shots and direct the lift. Use proper mechanical devices for heavy loads.

The safety and health of every employee is a high priority. EHSRM accepts responsibility for providing a safe working environment and employees are expected to take responsibility for performing work in accordance with safe standards and practices. Safety and health is achieved through teamwork. Everyone at UTSA must work together in promoting safety and health and taking reasonable measures to ensure safe working conditions exist.
