Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Understand about workplace health, safety and security.
Safety and security are not only practical components of a well-run workplace,
many aspects have legal requirements at state and federal levels. Depending on the
type of business and the regional location, you may be subject to a range of statutory
obligations for the health and the security of your workplace.
A safe work environment is a productive one. No matter the size or type of the
business, workplace safety procedures are a necessity for all staff. Safety measures
protect employees as well as equipment and business property. Avoiding or minimizing
injuries and damage to equipment and facilities will result in fewer expenses and more
profit for a business.
Hazard Identification
Each business should have a safety policy in place, created either by management or in
a joint effort between management and staff. Every employeehas a role in carrying out
Safety Training
Training is necessary so that employees will know how to practice safety in the
workplaces. Depending on the type of equipment used, the training may be required by
a federal mandate. For example, any workplace that operates a forklift must provide
training for employees for its safe operation. Training can come from outside experts
hired to teach classes or employees specially trained to perform safety instruction.
Equipment
Benefits
Workplace safety results in fewer accidents, which results in fewer costs for worker’s
compensation, less down time for employees, and less retraining time for workers
otherwise needed to replace an injured worker. Avoiding damage to equipment will
result in fewer repair costs. Worker performance is improved when workers know how
to prevent injuries and have confidence in management's active role in protecting their
safety.
Most employers would agree that preventing accidents and potential death to
employees is a natural priority. Most safety issues don't arise out of nefarious
intentions but come when businesses cut corners and don't take the time to train their
employees properly on safety protocols.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration estimates that employers pay
nearly $1 million each week in workers' compensation costs. Employers are required to
have workers' compensation insurance policies, but injuries increase the basic costs.
Also, if an employer is underinsured, the gap of coverage is the responsibility of the
employer.
Workplace injuries and unsafe working environments are bad for employee morale. An
employee who is concerned about being hurt isn't able to devote full attention to daily
work tasks. Employers who maintain a safe and healthy work environment and
conduct employee training on safety build a stronger relationship with employees.
Employees no longer feel like a means to an end but part of a team working together.
This creates loyalty and increases team morale, which has a direct correlation to
productivity.
