Recommended Corrective Actions To Prevent Future Injury

  For example:
  “cutting gloves have been purchased for employees using knives, and employees need to be instructed on the use of the gloves, and managers need to enforce use of the gloves.”
  “checked to see that a ladder of the correct height was available to change lightbulbs and will instruct all FOH employees on use of ladders during pre-shift meetings this week.”
  “will sign employee up for Back Injury Prevention class, and will instruct all new employees how to safely transport multiple glass racks before they begin their job.”
  “will call janitor and ask them to use a floor degreaser on a regular basis, will place a mat at the transition point from slate to wood.”
