TRSA

Concern for customers’ safety and health reflects TRSA’s longstanding emphasis on members’ own workplace safety. Training materials have been provided for decades at no additional cost to members to support their compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. More recently, video has supplemented printed material, with the latter, such as templates for developing programs to meet rules for machine lockout/tagout, handling bloodborne pathogens and confined-space work, available for downloading on www.trsa.org. To foster personal collaboration, TRSA conducts an annual Safety Summit; this year’s will be the 10th consecutive such meeting. An annual safety survey accumulates occupational injury and illness data submitted by nearly 1,000 industry facilities and depots. The most recent report found that from 2014 to 2018, the industry experienced a 15 percent drop in total recordable injuries (TRIR rate) and a 9 percent reduction in days away from work or TRSA In February, TRSA conference attendees view high-volume ironer at Boyd Gaming laundry in Las Vegas
