Workers and employers are feeling the pinch

Post by Misty Banu »

Fortunately there are still a few strategic steps you can take to create a safer environment for your workers. Remove the danger of assumption Anticipating or monitoring risks, addressing safety issues, proactively communicating — it’s enough to make you feel like you need to be everywhere all at the same time. Fortunately, technology can help you get full visibility into all areas of your business and working conditions, even if you can’t physically be on-site. First, you first need to evaluate the procedures your organization already has in place. Do standard safety processes currently exist? If yes, do they encompass the entire organization or are they only relevant to specific teams or employees Do these procedures include all hazards within your industry Are they known or easily accessible by employees.

The assumption that safety procedures exist and are known by all is a dangerous one. Only once you have a clear understanding of current processes can you expand your policy to encompass all potential health and safety hazards. Check your blinds pots Remember phone number list those 20% of workers who said they’ve experienced an injury at work? They admit that those injuries weren’t chance encounters or unpredictable accidents — they were the direct result of insufficient processes or communication. Those two shortcomings are at the root of most workplace safety problems, like the toxic accident at the Tyson chicken factory or the KiwiRail train derailment. Our research shows that four in ten (40%) workers said they’d like to see greater investment by their employer in technology to improve processes safety and efficiency.

Crucial that employers have a reliable centralized place to communicate about safety hazards status updates, and prevention measures or safety precautions. You can’t depend on a game of telephone to relay that important information. You need a system that immediately alerts your workers with accurate, up-to-date details. Digitizing your processes not only helps to remove assumptions and create pathways to increased visibility, but it also makes safe practices and the reporting of hazards a simple, streamlined process. A mobile-first operations platform like Safety Culture gives your workers a voice so that you can understand and mitigate issues before they snowball into bigger (and potentially dangerous) safety problems. Enabling your teams to report emerging hazards, record incidents and request support through a mobile first platform creates a digital trail that maps the journey to resolution.
