Wasps can create serious hazards in outdoor work areas, especially when employees are working near landscaping, structures, equipment, or materials where nests may be hidden. This safety lesson covers where wasps may be found, how to recognize signs of wasp activity, ways to avoid disturbing nests, and what personal protective equipment (PPE) may be appropriate for the job. It also explains safe work practices such as inspecting the area before starting work, avoiding sudden movements around wasps, never attempting to handle nests unless authorized, and knowing what to do if a sting occurs. By following proper procedures, employees can help reduce the risk of stings, allergic reactions, and other wasp-related injuries.
