Preventing work injuries protects your employees and your bottom line. To prevent injuries, we recommend the following:
Use thorough hiring practices including background checks, pre-employment physicals in accordance with all applicable laws.
Provide safety orientation and training for all employees on day one, as new employees are most likely to be injured, and regularly after that.
Have a safety coordinator and/or committee to do things like provide safety training, investigate incidents, implement corrective actions and analyze safety data.
Have a reliable written safety program that includes setting measurable goals and monitoring progress.
Educate yourself about common injuries and how to avoid them.
When employees are injured at work, it’s important to help them return to work as soon as possible. This reduces the chances they will never return, which benefits the employee and your organization.
