Creating and maintaining a safe work environment should be a priority of great significance for all manufacturers, but ensuring the well-being of employees on the job is an incredibly tall task.
Any effort undertaken to address safety should begin with an examination of company culture and its effects on employees. Since organizational behavior is shaped by shared beliefs, attitudes, values and practices, assessing where a company is at in terms of creating a culture of safety can help it determine what steps to take to develop and implement safety policies, prevent workplace injuries and ultimately improve its bottom line.
