Sure, this Toothpaste for Dinner comic is funny, but it also brings to light the reality of workplace preparedness. A new study by the American Red Cross finds that 62% of American workers are not confident about their preparedness in the workplace and less than half of employees surveyed knew about a disaster plan at their workplace. What’s even scarier is that only slightly more than half (55%) had ever received specific disaster and emergency information from their employer.
Ok, enough with the stats. But think about it. Would you know what to do if your coworker collapsed at his desk from a heart-attack? What about if a tornado swept through area while you were still stuck at work? Apart from panicking, many people wouldn’t know how to react.
The Greater Chicago Red Cross is making it easier for employers to create a safer workplace by offering FREE Workplace Preparedness Seminars on Nov. 5 and 6.
