The legal requirement for having a health and safety program is once you have 6 workers. That doesn't mean you don't have to provide training for the workers you have. All workers have the right to be trained and understand what hazards they may be exposed to.

If you are a small business owner with less than 6 workers, contact us today to walk you through what training your workers need. And an easy way that we can provide it.

Tragic Workplace Fatality at UPS Warehouse Under Investigation

A 43-year-old UPS employee, Shelma Reyna, was fatally injured on September 21 while loading packages in a trailer at the company’s Richmond, California facility. Reports indicate boxes or a malfunctioning conveyor system may have played a role in the accident.

Despite immediate emergency response, Reyna was pronounced dead at the scene. She leaves behind five children.

Both Cal/OSHA and local law enforcement are investigating the incident. Union officials have also stated they are working to determine whether malfunctioning equipment or prior safety issues contributed to the tragedy.

This heartbreaking case is a sobering reminder of the importance of maintaining safe equipment and enforcing strict workplace safety protocols. NASP extends condolences to the family, co-workers, and all impacted by this loss.

Spencer Safety Solutions can train your staff on how to manage and report incidents.
