Coming back to work after a relaxing weekend isn't necessarily a worker's favorite thing to do. But is it actually dangerous? That's what the editors of "Supervisors Safety Bulletin" wanted to know.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Mondays are the most dangerous day for work, accounting for 167,000 incidents in the last year figures were available.  

 

Best bet: Schedule toolbox talks for Monday mornings to make sure everyone on staff switches from weekend mode back to a safety mind set.

 

And don't forget about workers who don't have the typical Monday through Friday schedule or work different shifts. You may want to schedule their talks or keep an extra close eye on these workers on their first day back to work.
