When it comes to workplace safety and operational performance, good enough is not an option. What is the difference between comprehensive safety and just checking a compliance box?
The total cost of safety cannot be underestimated. A life is priceless. Direct costs such as worker’s compensation, medical and legal expenses, and indirect safety costs such as training, accident investigation, implementation of corrective measures, lost productivity, equipment and property repairs add up quickly. Workplaces with safety problems have lower employee morale and productivity.
