Safety incidents at work can prove expensive for the company, as well as detrimental to the morale of the employees and managers. Reducing the number of safety incidents that occur in the workplace requires a clear, systematic, articulated commitment to identifying and addressing potential hazards. Employees and administrators must all be actively engaged in such a policy to succeed, and its effectiveness will depend on building communication strategies and trust. |

Step 1 Add safety training to your new-employee orientation program. Instruct employees before they even start working about preventative measures for averting accidents, as well as company policies for creating a safe workplace. Step 2 Institute a schedule for attending to potential hazards in the workplace. Designate an employee for each shift in charge of keeping walkways clear, cleaning up spills, and keeping an eye on potentially dangerous equipment. Step 3 Perform preventative maintenance on equipment to reduce the risk of potentially dangerous malfunctions. Keep a written record of equipment servicing. Step 4 Encourage employees to inform you of any safety hazards that they may observe. Listen to their feedback and suggestions, and reward especially constructive ideas. Step 5 Keep a chart detailing when safety incidents occur. Note their frequency, as well as the length of time since the last recorded incident. Post the chart where your entire staff can see it. |
