![]() ASSP Chapter Meeting Info: Lightning Safety Many people wait to find a safe place when thunderstorms approach. These delays lead to lightning-related injuries and deaths every year in the US. As an employer, you have an obligation to ensure your employees are not unnecessarily exposed to the threat of lightning. In this program, we will discuss the importance of lightning safety (yes, even here in Oregon!) and ways to inform supervisors and employees to take action after hearing thunder or seeing lightning. You will be able to take away some easy steps to incorporate lightning safety into your workplace safety program.
