There can be no doubt in the public's mind that the topic of employee safety is an important one. However, different sectors of employment use different approaches. Numerous variations exist, for instance, in safety procedures for industrial workers versus other types of employees.

Personnel

Personnel safety often revolves around ergonomic activity. Office workers who spend their days at computers or desks are at risk for work-related injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and back pain. Safety measures in these situations usually involve providing the workers with equipment that keeps them injury- and pain-free.

Health Workers

Another type of personnel worker that does not fall under the industrial category is the health care employee. Doctors, nurses and orderlies often must worry about issues such as infection control. Strict safety measures must be followed if they are to prevent blood and airborne pathogens from making them ill.

Industrial

Industrial workers, on the other hand, must concern themselves with safety issues that revolve around the dangerous equipment and chemicals that they employ. Special handling protocols are used for hazardous substances, and training and safety checks must be undergone when using industrial equipment.
