I can’t tell you how comforting it’s is to know that we now have a bio hazard kit when I am working in the store by myself. It really makes me feel much safer.

I am not qualified/trained to be having safety meetings for my staff. I am not trained on active shooter drills, what to do if we have a chemical spill, or if any employee cuts their finger off using our new box cutters. I am not trained in first aid. Is this really what is expected of us? Or is it just for show in case the auditor comes in to make sure we all have these tools on hand?
I wonder if these are on the list of training that will be presented at the management conf. that no store manager wants to attend.
So has pricing and service gotten so bad that vomiting in the stores is becoming a common occurrence? By the remaining staff (stress related) or the customers?
All this talk about safety and nothing mentioned about team members working alone. Having to lock the doors to use the restroom. Not getting a lunch or even a break. Now you are expecting me to clean up vomit. I don’t think so!!!! That is what the cleaning crew is for.
But do you have the training/required certification to use the kit? Or are you expecting to figure it out?
But we gave you the kit!
God forbid your store was in compliance with State law or you had the ability to deal with a student/customer bleeding/vomiting in your store.
Was my understanding, since even before I retired, that the Follett workplace atmosphere had become rather toxic. Better safe...
Make sure to note that on your “cover their a–” audit. I mean “safety audit.”
