Mindful Monday: Fatigue … The Hidden Safety Risk!

This week let’s pause and consider something we don’t always notice on a job site.

Fatigue.

In high-demand industries like construction and oil & gas, long shifts, early mornings, and tough conditions are often part of the job. But fatigue slows reaction time, impacts decision-making, and increases the risk of error.

Pushing through exhaustion isn’t a badge of honor… it’s a safety concern.
Being mindful of fatigue in ourselves and our teams strengthens safety culture and protects the people who keep our industries moving.

This Monday, ask yourself:
Are we managing fatigue as seriously as we manage every other hazard?

🎉 Fun Fact Friday! 🎉

At the summit of Mount Everest, oxygen levels are about 33% of what we breathe at sea level.

In many confined spaces, oxygen levels can drop below 19.5%, which is oxygen deficient and immediately dangerous!

And here’s the critical part:
You don’t have to be 29,000 feet in the air to experience oxygen deprivation.
It can happen in tanks, vaults, silos, pits, and other enclosed work areas.

⚠️ Oxygen-deficient environments:
• Can’t be seen
• Can’t be smelled
• Can’t be felt — until it’s too late

That’s why atmospheric testing, ventilation, and proper confined space procedures are essential — every single time.

Safety isn’t optional. It’s survival.

Choosing the Right Anchor Point

In fall protection, “That Looks Strong Enough” Isn’t a Safety Plan!

Here’s what matters:

🔹 Must meet OHS regulations or engineered specs
🔹 Attached to a structurally sound surface
🔹 Positioned overhead when possible (to reduce swing falls)
🔹 Designed and rated for fall protection
🔹 Inspected before every use

Guardrails, ladder rungs, and random pipes? Not anchor points!

Choose wisely. Gravity is undefeated.

Telehandler Attachments: Small Change, Big Impact

When you swap a telehandler attachment, you’re not just changing the tool, you’re changing the machine’s load capacity.

Buckets, forks, jibs, and grapples all modify:
• Capacity
• Load center
• Stability
Translation?

That 6,000-lb lift might not be 6,000 lbs anymore.
Before lifting:
✔ Check the load chart for the specific attachment
✔ Know the attachment weight
✔ Train operators on attachment usage

Mindful Monday!

Forklifts don’t make mistakes. People do!

Forklifts won’t tell you a load is too heavy, your view is blocked, or that turn was a bad idea. That responsibility always falls on the operator. So keep your head in the game!

Hands-on, engaging training matters. When operators learn how to spot hazards, understand equipment limits, and react in real-world situations, safer decisions become second nature, not guesswork.

Touchback offers forklift training for all experience levels, including a Beginner Forklift Course and a combined Telehandler/Forklift course for experienced operators. Group discounts are available for on-site training, or training at our facility. Let Touchback help you keep your team safe and incident free!

Fun Fact Friday!

Love your beard… but your respirator doesn’t!

Tight fitting respirators depend on a secure seal against the skin to work properly. Facial hair, even light stubble, can interfere with that seal. A poor seal reduces protection and allows contaminants to leak in. That’s why a clean-shaven face is required to pass a fit test.

Touchback is here to help! Call us and stay safe!

A huge thank you to West Parkland Gas for having us onsite for first aid training!

From start to finish, their hospitality and organization made the course run smoothly, and we loved working with such an engaged team. Bringing training directly to the workplace makes it easier, more relevant, and more effective. This was a great example of that!

Thanks again for trusting us with your training needs!

Bucket trucks reduce fall risk, but they don’t eliminate it.

When people think about fall hazards, they often picture roofs or scaffolding. Bucket trucks are sometimes overlooked, even though falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injury in elevated work.

Fall hazards in bucket truck operations can include:
• Sudden equipment movement or failure
• Being struck by tools, materials, or passing vehicles
• Overreaching outside the bucket
• Improper entry and exit
• Working near power lines or uneven ground

This is why fall protection, proper positioning, inspections, and safe operating practices are not optional. They’re critical!

Training isn’t just about knowing the rules. It’s about understanding why they exist, how incidents actually happen, and how to recognize hazards before they lead to injury.

Our on-site bucket truck training helps crews:
• Identify fall hazards specific to their job site
• Use equipment correctly and confidently
• Operate lifts safely in real-world conditions

If your team uses bucket trucks, make sure they’re trained to recognize every fall risk, not just the obvious ones.
📩 Contact us to schedule on-site bucket truck training and help keep your team working safely at height.

Mindful Monday! First Aid Isn't Just CPR!

Most first aid moments aren’t dramatic.
They’re everyday situations where knowing what to do makes all the difference.

First aid is:
• Treating a burn
• Stopping bleeding
• Recognizing a concussion
• Helping someone who’s overheated or faint

Preparedness isn’t about emergencies.
It’s about being ready for real life.
