Health
and Safety Management
One
of the key barometers to determine the overall well
being of an organization is its safety performance.
Good safety performance tends to flow from a positive
work environment whereas a poor work environment usually
translates into a poor safety record. Time and attention
paid to addressing the health and safety concerns of
your employees goes a long way in getting their support
and earning their trust.
In
addition to helping you gain the support of your employees,
a health and safe work environment is more cost effective
to you. The constant training of new employees, increased
overtime payments, increased Worker Compensation assessments,
the possibility of fines for non conformance with legislative
requirements are additional costs that support a strong
health and safe management presence in your work place.
In a recent study released by the Workplace Safety and
Insurance Board it was noted that for every dollar of
compensation paid to the injured employee there is another
4 dollars of indirect costs.
Health
and Safety management is something that doesn't just
happen. A great deal of time and effort is required
from everyone in the workplace to make it happen. The
intervention strategy adopted by Robinson & Associates
known as the " Internal Responsibility System" advocates
that everyone in the workplace has a role to play in
developing and maintaining a health and safe work environment.
