Positive mental health is described by the World Health Organization as ldquoa state of well-being in which every indi-vidual realizes their own potential can cope with the nor-mal stresses of life can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to their commu-nityrdquo Mental health issues can affect anyone regardless of age race or background A personrsquos mental and physical health are symbiotic mdash that is they are interdependent with one affecting the other People suffering physical ailments and chronic illnesses have a higher risk of depression and people with depres-sion are more prone to having other health issues

Most employers realize the importance of providing a safe hazard-free environment as well as fostering healthy habits in their employees Even though Floridarsquos Civil Rights Act prohibits discriminating based on physical or mental impairments the stigma of mental illness still exists Roughly 85 of workers in the US

allow their mental health conditions to go undiagnosed or untreated out of shame or fear of reprisal

By promoting mental health in the workplace employers have the op-portunity to eliminate this stigma which will not only improve the overall wellness and satisfaction of employees but also lower costs and increase productivity for the agency A study published in Inc Magazine in 2016 stated that between decreased performance and absenteeism mental illness and substance abuse cost employers around $2258 billion each year And with workplace violence on the rise there is much more at stake than a loss of productivity

So how can your workplace help to promote a healthy environment and eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness Practicing ldquosupportive performance managementrdquo can help

bull If an employee is struggling with performance at work rule out the possibility of a mental health issue before considering disciplinary action Use non-judgmental language such as ldquoYoursquore not your usual selfrdquo rather than ldquoYou seem depressedrdquo

bull Communicate clearly with concern and without judgment Example Instead of saying ldquoDonrsquot be late for meetingsrdquo try saying ldquoI need you to be at meetings at least one minute before they start How can I help you do thatrdquo

bull Listen and understand the employeersquos perspec-tive before discussing solutions Help them to de-velop their own solutions which shifts the focus from compliance to commitment

MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING MONTH Mental health screenings can alert peo-ple who might not otherwise seek medi-cal help to the signs of serious illness

WHY SCREEN FOR DEPRESSIONClinical depression is one of the most common mental disorders and causes for disability in the US affecting more than 16 million American adults each year Screenings can help point out the presence of depressive symptoms

IN AN ACTIVE

SHOOTER SITUATION

AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IS AN INDIVIDUAL ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN KILLING OR ATTEMPTING TO KILL PEOPLE IN A CONFINED AND POPULATED AREA TYPICALLY THROUGH THE USE OF FIREARMS

IN MOST CASES ACTIVE SHOOTER INCIDENTS HAVE NO PATTERN OR METHOD TO THE SELECTION OF VICTIMS

THE AVERAGE ACTIVE SHOOTER EVENT LASTS LESS THAN TEN MINUTES OFTEN ENDING BEFORE LAW ENFORCEMENT EVEN HAS TIME TO RESPOND

HERE ARE SOME WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF

CALL 911 WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO You will need

to provide the location number and physical descrip-

tion of shooters number and types of weapons

involved and number of potential victims at your

location

Be aware of your environment and any possible

dangers

Take note of the two nearest exits in any facility where

you work or visit Have an escape route and plan in

mind

If you can escape leave your belongings behind keep

your hands visible and help others escape if possible

If you cannot escape get into a room and secure the

doors Hide out of sight and behind large items

Silence your cell phone and other sources of sound

ONLY AS A LAST RESORT if your life is in imminent

danger attempt to incapacitate or disrupt the active

shooter Act with physical aggression Be loud Use

improvised weapons Throw items at the shooter

WHEN LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVES remain calm and

follow instructions Put down any items in your hands

spread your fingers and keep them visible Avoid quick

movements toward officers When evacuating do not

stop to ask officers for help or directions

Hurricane Irma is fresh on the minds of all Floridians But with nearly one and a half

months still left in the hurricane season it is important to remain prepared

Hurricanes tornadoes even

typical Florida storms can

bring damaging rain hail

and wind You probably have

an emergency plan in place

for your home and family

and it is just as important to

make preparations at work

The first step in developing a Comprehensive Plan for the workplace is to assess what risks your workplace is most likely to face (flooding wind damage etc)

Next take an inventory of records and data that should be backed up and kept offsite in case of flooding or other damage

OSHA recommends that an effective Comprehensive Plan contain

A list of conditions that will activate the Plan

Chain of command mdash who will perform emergency functions

Emergency contact list for essential employees

Procedures for evacuation and securing of buildings including routes exits and locations for workers to regroup

Methods allowing personnel to be notified of an emergency such as an alarm system phone tree etc

Procedures for protecting documents and equipment from damage (backing up files covering computers etc)

List of locations of emergency equipment and steps that must be taken when power is out

Safety managers should discuss with management which personnel are critical in an emergency These employees will need to be instructed on how to perform their emergency response duties These may include forwarding phone lines updating and distributing phone lists contacting personnel and posting signs

Once established the Comprehensive Plan will need to be clearly communicated to all personnel so that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities during an emergency Employees should coordinate with other state agencies as well as outside vendors with whom they regularly do business to be sure they are made aware of the emergency situation

Hurricane Irma swirls in the Caribbean

on its way to pummel the Florida

peninsula

Floods caused by Floridarsquos heavy

rains or storm surge can do

catastrophic damage to roads and

structures

Second only to overexertion slips trips and falls account for

more disabling injuries than any other workplace accident In

2015 the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 309000

incidents resulting in injuries such as bruises bone fractures

and sprains and even death

The good news is that by implementing basic safety rules and

being aware of our surroundings these types of injuries are

highly preventable

Happen when there is too little friction or

traction on the walking surface

Commonly caused by

bull wet or oily spills

bull unanchored mats or rugs

bull slick untextured flooring

bull Inappropriate footwear

Prevented by

bull cleaning up spills immediately

bull placing warning signs on wet floors

bull installing rubber or abrasive floor mats or replacing worn flooring

bull encouraging workers to wear comfortable rubber-soled shoes

Happen when your foot collides with an ob-

ject causing you to lose balance

Commonly caused by

bull obstructed view or poor lighting

bull objects in walkways

bull uncovered cables

bull uneven walking surfaces

bull desk amp cabinet drawers being left open

Prevented by

bull keeping walkways free of clutter

bull tacking down or replacing rugs that do not lay flat

bull Keeping drawers closed when not in use

bull Maintaining a well-lit workspace

Same as with trips but from an elevation

such as ladders roofs or stairs

Commonly caused by

bull Slippery cluttered or unstable walking or working surfaces

bull Unprotected edges floor holes or wall openings

bull Unsafely positioned ladders

bull Misused or unused fall protection

Prevented by

bull Being aware of your surroundings

bull Walking at a pace suitable for the task at hand

bull Always use handrails safety belts and harnesses

Stories such as this teach us

that you canrsquot put a price on

safety Cutting corners may

help the bottom line but the

costs of an accident can be

much higher Fires and explo-

sions resulted in 148 occupa-

tional fatalities in 2013

Fire prevention in the workplace begins by

eliminating hazards

ELECTRICAL Make sure outlets are not

overloaded plugs are not loose and wiring

is not faulty or fraying Keep combustible

materials away from electrical equipment

Keep electrical control panels easily accessi-

ble so that the power can be shut off quick-

ly

HOUSEKEEPING Clutter provides fuel and

can prevent access to emergency exits and

equipment Combustible dusts such as

those created by wood plastic metal or

even flour can ignite and explode Make

sure operations that create such dusts are

well ventilated and at a safe distance from

potential ignition sources

DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS Never

smoke in areas where combustible materials

such as paper or chemicals are stored and

extinguish and dispose of smoking materials

safely

MAINTENANCE Be sure machinery and elec-

tronics are in good working order to prevent

overheating and friction sparks Keep heat-

producing equipment such as servers boil-

ers ovens stoves and fryers clean and

store flammable materials away from such

equipment

(Continued on page 7)

They are the head-

lines nobody wants

to read mdash a devas-

tating accident causes loss of life and

property An investigation shows the damage was mul-

tiplied by inadequate safety regulations and cost-

cutting measures

Fire safety experts say these

injuries and deaths could

have been prevented if warn-

ings had been heeded and the

proper precautions taken

In June of this year the Grenfell Tower in West London went up in flames after a manrsquos

refrigerator caught fire resulting in an estimated 80 deaths The building had 24 floors

and only one staircase It had no fire alarms sprinklers or fire

escapes What it did have was a new faccedilade made of materials so

flammable that their use in construction had been banned in the

US and many European countries However in an effort to cut

costs businesses pushed for the UK government to pare back

fire safety regulations

The next step is to prepare your building and its employees for

a fire emergency OSHA recommends employers develop an

Emergency Action Plan This can range from very simple plans

for offices with no hazardous materials or processes to more

complex plans for workplaces where employees fight fires or

perform medical or rescue tasks Each plan developed should

be specific to the worksite Make sure employees receive train-

ing so they know what to do in case of fire emergency and en-

courage them to point out potential hazards and offer sugges-

tions about the best way to respond

Here are some basic ways your workplace can prepare for a fire

emergency

EXITS Emergency exits should be marked and well lit NEVER

block fire exits The evacuation route should be posted near ex-

its Instruct employees to use stairs rather than elevators during

an emergency

EQUIPMENT Install sprinkler systems smoke detectors and fire

extinguishers and have them tested annually Alarms or other

means of alerting workers of an emergency should be provided

PREPARATION Employees should be instructed on the emer-

gency procedures for their specific agency and jobsite Review

the evacuation routes Address how to evacuate disabled em-

ployees as well as procedures for those who must stay behind

to shut down critical equipment Make sure employees can be

accounted for after they evacuate by designating a safe place to

meet Employers should review the plan with new employees and

with all employees should changes be made

The state of Florida has a Fire Prevention Code (per Chapter

633202 FS) which is enforced by the local fire official within

each county municipality and special fire district Each region

may also have local amendments specific to your community If

you have a specific question regarding the Florida Fire Preven-

tion Code or how it affects a specific building contact your local

fire official

habilitation program Some of the benefits seen by drug-free

workplaces include

bull Reduced absenteeism tardiness and turnover

bull Reduced discipline problems
