Safety Tip of the Week

No Fan of the Heat

As the weather hits higher temperatures, it’s important to keep the workplace cool with air conditioning and fans. To maintain the safety of the workplace, do not place fans in aisles and doorways. Do not remove the protective guards from fans, and ensure that the fan guards have an opening no larger than one-half inch.

For more safety tips, contact Environmental Health and Safety at ehs@wsu.edu.
