How to Make the Workplace Safer for Everybody

3/27/2019

 
Workplace safety should be a top priority for organizations, especially those that employ people who work in an industrial setting. There are, of course, a number of reasons for this.

First, as an employer, it's incumbent upon your company to provide a safe place for people to work. This is of paramount importance from an ethical standpoint, as well as from a branding standpoint. Second, you certainly don't want your employees leaving because they don't feel safe. And third, when accidents happen - even small ones - productivity decreases.

Unfortunately, workplace safety is one of those issues upon which some employers do not have a firm grasp. Considering what's at stake, though, you can't afford to not be on top of this issue.

Below are four tips for making the workplace safer for everybody:

#1 - Make sure safety equipment is available and accessible.

Employees should have access to whatever they need to make their work area and the workplace safer. This means management should know about the latest and greatest safety measures, as well as any new rules and regulations that have been passed at the local, state, and/or federal levels. Employees can't use what they don't have and they can't act on knowledge that they don't possess.

#2 - Conduct regular safety training sessions.

Consistent training is a key to making the workplace safer. If the proper equipment is accessible and the proper knowledge is available, then the company should instruct its employees about how to use both. This can range from rudimentary safety precautions that new hires learn during orientation to training sessions regarding specialized equipment and processes.

#3 - Minimize risks through vigilance.

Safety should be a priority every day, not just during orientation or during days that training sessions are held. Notices should be posted throughout the workplace emphasizing the importance of safety at all times. This emphasis starts at the top with managers and supervisors. If they consistently focus on workplace safety, then employees will, too.

#4 - Make safety a habit.

It takes at least 21 days of doing something every day to make that something a habit. That's roughly one month in terms of working days. The reason that it's important for management to consistently make safety a priority is it's the best way to also make safety a habit among employees. Communication plays a large role in this, whether it's daily reminders, formal training, or surprise inspections designed to gauge who is making safety a priority... and who is not.
