New Solutions at Work: LED Lights to Improve Equipment Visibility

What is it? Solutions-at-Work or “SAW” are individual ideas where a Member of the Mutual looked at an existing hazard and, through their employee’s years of experience, knowledge, or creativity, developed a Solution to the problem that eliminated or reduced the hazard to employees and the chance of injury.

Struck-by injuries occur from violent contact or impact between an object or piece of equipment and a person. Struck-by injuries can be fatal, and even when a worker is not seriously injured, these incidents can result in days off work to recover. Occupational struck-by incidents caused 150 deaths and 14,000 nonfatal injuries in 2020 across the United States.
