Building a Safety Culture
No safety program can be successful without employees doing their part. This is why it is critical that your employees are properly trained, engaged and receiving communication. What is in it for the business owners? Simple, the cost savings you will receive from reduced cost in worker’s comp insurance, medical expenditures, decreased turnover and improved morale leading to better labor-management relationships.
Here are some resources to help you build a safety culture in your workplace:
