Spirit Day reminds us to stand up, show support, and create safe spaces for everyone. October isn’t just about awareness, it’s about action. Just as employees wear purple to support Spirit Day, companies can “show their spirit” by prioritizing equipment and physical safety programs that protect their teams every day.
When employees feel safe, supported, and seen, they thrive. Proper safety measures aren’t just compliance, they’re a statement: your people matter.
- Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Just like we lock arms in solidarity on Spirit Day, Lockout/Tagout ensures machinery is safely powered down for maintenance. No surprises, no injuries, just teamwork in action.
- Machine Guarding & Equipment
SafetyGuarding equipment is like creating boundaries for safety. Employees know where it’s safe to operate and how to interact with machinery, keeping everyone protected.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
ProgramWearing PPE is like wearing your “purple” for safety. Helmets, gloves, goggles, and other gear, aren’t just equipment, they’re symbols of care and protection.
- Fleet/Driver Safety Program
If part of your business involves driving, vehicle safety programs keep employees moving safely, just like the visible support shown on Spirit Day keeps communities safe and aware.
- Safety Culture & Awareness
Spirit Day is about visibility, so is safety. Encouraging employees to speak up about hazards, report near-misses, and support each other builds a culture where everyone looks out for one another.
Showing your workplace spirit isn’t just about wearing purple, it’s about protecting, supporting, and valuing your employees every day. Equipment and physical safety programs make that commitment visible in action.
At People First Inc., we help companies build these programs so your team can work confidently, safely, and supported, every single day.
