Golden Rules To Reduce Safety
• Incorporate a safety and wellness plan. The foundation for a safe work
environment is an effective accident prevention and wellness program. The program
needs to cover all levels of employee safety and health with the encouragement to
report hazardous practices or behavior.
• Conduct pre-placement physicals. Some accidents are caused by inexperience
and the inability to physically perform the position. Screening applicants is a
safeguard for placement with the appropriate positions matching their physical
capabilities.
Golden Rules To Reduce Safety
• Educate employees and management staff. Continually cultivate a safety
standard among employees and management staff. Train employees about the
importance of following safety measures as often as possible. Supplemental training
in body mechanics can reduce strain injuries, and keep employees safe during lifting
and moving.
• Research safety vulnerabilities. Every business is unique and doesn’t necessarily
have the same safety concerns. Pay extra attention to common accidents and
develop strategies to keep these setbacks from happening.
Golden Rules To Reduce Safety
• Provide protection equipment. Personal protection equipment is essential and
should be enforced at hiring, meetings, and with spontaneous monitoring. Take time
to teach employees how to properly use goggles, face protection, gloves, hard hats,
safety shoes, and earplugs or ear muffs.
• Have adequate staffing levels. More often than not, overtime hours are
implemented because of low staffing levels. Overworked employees may suffer
from exhaustion and cut corners to meet or exceed output. Hiring part-time or
seasonal staff could help prevent accidents due to exhaustion
Golden Rules To Reduce Safety
• Don’t take shortcuts. Accidents happen when employees skip steps to
complete a job ahead of schedule. Make sure all instructions are clear and
organized to prevent undue mishaps in the workplace.
• Inspect and maintain all company vehicles. According to The
Occupational Safety and Health Act findings, workplace-driving accidents
cost employers an average of $60 billion dollars a year. Maintenance should
include monthly inspections and repairing vehicles as soon as possible.
Golden Rules To Reduce Safety
• Monitor safety measures. After initial training, reinforce safety measures at every
opportunity, i.e. staff meetings, supervision, and education. Reward employees who
abide by setting standards or staying injury free for a specified amount of time.
• Keep an orderly workplace. Poor housekeeping can cause serious health and safety
hazards. The layout of the workplace should have adequate foot path markings, be
free of debris, and stations for cleaning up spills.
