A workplace inspection
The establishment where you conduct business may have been build according to the highest safety standards of its time, however, with time, the condition of buildings, infrastructure, electrical equipment etc. can become depreciated, which might even put the lives of the workforce in danger. Perform regular electrical testing and other tests to ensure everything is the way they are supposed to be and perform repairs where needed.
Obtain appliance tagging services of a professional, so your workers will know exactly when the appliances were last tested, which professional performed the operation and how it was done. This will help them feel secure in the work place, which will significantly improve their productivity as well.
Train the workers
All jobs involve a certain risk of danger which can only be mitigated by the carefulness of the employees. Once you have done everything as an employer to ensure their safety, the next step is to provide them with the necessary instructions on how they can minimize the accidents and injuries in the workplace through regular training. Especially if the work involves a potential risk of damage and injury, the workers must be given specific instructions on how the tasks must be carried out, and these can be depicted on or near the working area as written and drawn instructions. Make sure all the necessary safety equipment is provided for each employee, depending on the kind of work they perform. While some may need high grip gloves, others might need safety hats and without these, they will always be exposed to a high level of danger and you will be responsible for it.
Keep records
Maintain records every dollar you spend to make the workplace safer for the employees and on training them, and cross-check these with the accidents and injuries that might happen during the course of work. This will help you identify the specific areas that are in need of increased effort, training or both. This will also help you put a lid on overspending on safety improvement, so that the funds can be allocated to another value adding activity.
