TAKE ACTION
SEPTEMBER 2024
It’s time for Safety Week,
beginning September 9
Things can happen at a Costco warehouse. Fruit spills on the floor, creating a slipping hazard. A loose load drops off a forklift. Cars back up within inches of an employee collecting carts in the parking lot. Cardboard cuts split open a finger.
Luckily, many of these hazards can be avoided if you know how to reduce workplace risks. That’s exactly what Safety Week is about. Hosted by the Costco Safety Department, Safety Week is a time to become familiar with safety practices at Costco to prevent injury, illness and the stress that goes along with them. You’ll also receive tips and information from Employee Benefits to safely navigate the world outside of work.
