Workplace safety is not something only construction and manufacturing businesses need to think about. Businesses and employees from all industries should be mindful of it.
Let’s discuss ways to create a safe work environment and potentially decrease workplace accidents.
Work with a safety manager or loss control consultant.
A safety manager understands what is required to keep everyone safe. They are employed by your company and work with employees to develop and implement safety plans, enforce policies and evaluate practices. If your company does not have a dedicated safety manager, a third-party loss control consultant can also assist with safety policies and procedures. Loss control consultants are similar to safety managers, but are not members of your staff. They work with you to understand your operations and look for gaps to provide more information, resources and safety solutions for your business. They also assist with safety trainings and meetings.
A loss control consultant also assists with the following safety procedures.
• Health hazard controls
• Ergonomic assessments
• Hazard assessments
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) assessment
Consider a workers compensation policy.
