Although teamwork is essential in safety, unsafe teamwork can be just as dangerous as working alone.

This image is a perfect example of what not to do on the job site. Balancing on unstable materials and relying on another person for support instead of using proper scaffolding or ladders can lead to serious injuries or worse.

-Always use the right equipment
-Follow safety protocols
-Never compromise safety for convenience

Teamwork means looking out for each other’s safety, not risking it!

Common Sense Saves Fingers!

Just because a tool fits in your hand doesn’t mean it’s safe to use that way. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) exists for a reason gloves, safety glasses, and proper positioning can prevent serious injuries.

Let’s make safety a habit, not an afterthought. Every shortcut has a cost don’t let yours be your health!

Safety Starts with Us, Washington!

In Washington State, regular safety meetings and strong teamwork aren’t just best practices they’re required under WAC 296-800-130 and help prevent accidents before they happen.

These meetings give everyone a voice, build awareness, and create a culture where speaking up about hazards is encouraged. Whether you’re in construction, healthcare, or the office, safety is everyone’s responsibility.

Let’s keep Washington’s workplaces safe, compliant, and strong together.

Excavation Safety Reminder Washington State

This photo shows what not to do. Heavy trucks parked right on the edge of an unshored excavation a collapse waiting to happen.

Under WAC 296-155, Part N, trenches over 4 ft deep must be sloped, benched, or shored, and heavy equipment must stay at least 2 ft from the edge.

Always plan, shore, and inspect. Lives depend on it.

How Many Safety Violations Can You Spot?

This looks like a dangerous setup, and it is. Based on WA State L&I / OSHA rules, here’s what’s wrong:

-Fall harness not anchored properly
-Makeshift scaffold between ladders
-No guardrails or fall protection
-Working dangerously close to power lines
-No tool lanyards or drop protection

Working like this could lead to serious injuries or fines.

How many did YOU spot?

Hazard Communication Saves Lives

Every worker has the right to know what hazards they may be exposed to on the job. A strong Hazard Communication (HazCom) program ensures employees understand the chemicals they work with, how to handle them safely, and what to do in an emergency.

From proper labeling and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to regular training, clear communication keeps everyone safe and compliant with Washington State’s WAC 296-901 requirements.

Safety starts with awareness make sure your team knows what they’re working with and how to stay protected.

This is NOT how we do safety in Washington.

In our state, safety isn’t optional, it’s the law.
Using heavy equipment as a makeshift lift like this isn’t just risky… it’s a direct violation of Washington State safety standards (WAC 296).

In Washington, workers are required to have:

-Proper fall protection when working at heights
-Approved manlifts or platforms (not excavator buckets!)
-A competent person overseeing hazardous tasks
-Jobsite hazard assessments before work begins

Every shortcut increases the chance of a serious injury—or worse. No job is worth a life.

At Shield of Armor Safety, we make sure every crew goes home safe.

Training • Jobsite Audits • Safety Plans • Compliance Support

Protect your team. Follow the laws. Safety is not a gamble.
