Q: What should I consider when selecting a Shelter-in-Place / Tornado Shelter location at work?
We are entering tornado season which usually runs spring through summer. Do you know where to shelter at work if there were a tornado right now? Is the room large enough to accommodate your employees and any visitors? What is a business required to do?
OSHA's shelter in place guidance recommends the following:
-
Select interior room(s) above the ground floor, with the fewest windows or vents.
-
The room(s) should have adequate space for everyone to be able to sit. Avoid overcrowding by selecting several rooms if necessary.
-
Large storage closets, utility rooms, pantries, copy and conference rooms without exterior windows will work well.
-
Avoid selecting a room with mechanical equipment like ventilation blowers or pipes, because this equipment may not be able to be sealed from the outdoors.
Many businesses will use rest rooms that are on interior walls. Interior stair wells away from windows on the lowest level will also work. If you need assistance with your shelter in place procedure you can review the document links below.

Join SCSC in the Stand-Down to Prevent Falls Safety Council Challenge
Following highway crashes, falls are the second leading cause of workplace death. While construction workers are most at risk, falls can happen in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and virtually any other industry that may involve working from height. SCSC encourages workers in all industries to take time out to conduct a Fall Safety Stand-Down.
If you think your company is too small to conduct a Stand-Down, think again. Roughly half of events nationwide are held by companies with 25 or fewer employees.
A Fall Safety Stand-Down can be as simple or involved as you'd like. Managers are encouraged to plan a Stand-Down that works best for their workplace. Suggestions include:
- Conducting a toolbox talk focused on ladder, scaffold or roof safety
- Conducting a safety inspection along with employees
- Developing a rescue plan
- Holding a training session
- Showing a safety video
Don't forget the BWC Library offers an extensive collection of audiovisual materials related to fall hazards and fall prevention. They also offer year-round classes throughout Ohio to address fall protection requirements.
SCSC is encouraging every safety council member to conduct fall prevention training during the month of May. No matter the industry, let's get our workers in the Summit County areas trained! Complete the challenge reporting form and feel free to send us pics of your training activities!

Electricity Makes Our Lives Easier But Don't Take Its Power And Potential For Fire-related Hazards For Granted
To help reduce your risk, NFPA and ESFI recommend that you have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician, including electrical inspections, when buying or remodeling a home. The following are additional tips residents can follow to help keep their homes safe from electrical fires:
- Check electrical cords to make sure they are not running across doorways or under carpets where they are can get damaged.
- Have a qualified electrician add more receptacle outlets in your home to reduce the use of extension cords.
- Use light bulbs that match the recommended wattage on the lamp or fixture. Check the sticker on the lamp to determine the maximum wattage light bulb to use.
