Safety Update

Struck by/Against Incidents

Keeping our sales and production floors free of hazards that can create slip and fall hazards is a continuous task. As team members, we need to continually watch for, and remove, these hazards.

What are some things to watch for on the sales floor?

• Hangers, big and small.

• Toys

• Paper, hand wipes

• Clothing

• Electric cords

• Broken glass

• Wet areas

What are some things to watch for in production?

• Wood from pallets

• Small toys

• Paper

• Hangers

• Broken glass

• Wet areas

It’s safe to say the same hazards exist in all areas of the store. It’s everyone's job to keep floors clean and swept for our customers’ sake as well as ours.

Making Healthy Choices

(Information from: The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases)

Are you overwhelmed by daily decisions about what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, and how much physical activity you need to be healthy? This information may help you make changes in your daily eating and physical activity habits so that you improve your well-being and reach or maintain a healthy weight.

Myth: To lose weight, you have to give up all your favorite foods.

Fact: You don’t have to give up all your favorite foods when you’re trying to lose weight. Small amounts of your favorite high-calorie foods may be part of your weight-loss plan. Just remember to keep track of the total calories you take in. To lose weight, you must burn more calories than you take in through food and beverages.

TIP: Limiting foods that are high in calories may help you lose weight. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans have estimated daily calorie needs based on a person’s age, sex, and physical activity level.

Tip of the Week

Neat, clean and organized
