Building a safe workplace can take a great deal of time and resources, but it's all worth it to help protect the safety of your employees.

It is highly important that business owners take time building out safety standards throughout their workplaces and review these standards to make improvements.

✖

Here are a few common areas where positive changes can be made.

3

Follow Guidelines ✖

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces protective safety and health standards for organizations throughout the U.S.

✖

So, look to OSHA and other legal guidelines when building or improving upon the safety of your workplace.

Prioritize Training Training is key to any successful workplace safety program.

Employers can start this process right out of the gate by including safety training as part of the employee onboarding process.

Regular training should be considered, as rules and procedures may change.

5

Talk to your Employees ✖ Business owners or managers should regularly check in with their teams to discuss any concerns that they may have about their safety. ✖ Not only can employees offer solutions that you may not have considered, but including them in the process also makes them feel more valued.

Collect Employee’s Medical Data First and foremost, you should keep accurate records of any work-related injuries and illnesses.

You may also want to prioritize complaints from employees, as they can offer suggestions before an accident takes place.

All of this data can help identify trouble areas by allowing you to find patterns.

Determine How much Data will be Collected

Take time to collect accurate data after an accident.

Aggregate data you collected frequently.

Collect preventative data outside of an accident to make sure that one can be avoided if possible.

Putting data into action 

It's easy to assume that investing a lot of resources in safety will help create a safe workspace without much risk, and spending fewer resources will lead to an unsafe space that sees a slew of accidents and injuries.



However, you can work within your budget to maintain a safe workplace using all collected data.



Consider dedicating more time and resources if potential problems arise
