What Is a Safety Program – And Why Does It Save You Money?

Safety is critical in every business environment. Sometimes, this means doing things the hard way. It can sometimes mean spending more money or time accomplishing tasks. image of hard hat and a safety first sign

However, keeping workers safe is always a priority. One way to do so is through a worker safety program. This type of safety program aims to ensure every worker on the job acts in a safe, responsible manner. It can also keep workers’ compensation claims low.

What Goes Into a Safety Program?

In short, these programs address particular safety risks at your location. Most state and local health departments provide guidelines and support for creating these.

Safety programs create methods for reducing risks. Some states require them. This is a highly personalized plan. It aims to provide specific steps about your individual location. Employers should create them. However, employees can be a part of the safety committee.

How Can You Create a Safety Program for Workers’ Compensation Needs?

A good place to start is with OSHA. The OSHA.gov website provides sample safety programs. Find those applicable to your industry. Use them as a framework for creating your own plan.

But, remember, your safety plan must be location-specific. It becomes essential for business owners to adapt their own plan and then post it for employees to see.

Teaching Safety Is a Big Investment

Whether you run an industrial plant or a restaurant, safety is essential in all locations. A health and safety program provides guidance to individuals. It should be helpful to accomplish various tasks:

  • Create guidelines for accomplishing risky jobs in the best possible manner
  • Create a plan to address safety risks in an ongoing fashion
  • Determine steps managers and employees should take when they notice a safety risk
  • Create a plan for teaching safety measures and methods to employees
  • Educate employees on their legal rights to get care if they suffer an injury on the job

A safety program is something to continuously work on. Discuss it with your workers’ compensation insurance agent at 888-296-0345. Find out what your risks are. Your industry can shed some light on this. Your agent can talk to you about minimizing those risks. Many organizations can also help you create a safety program.

Remember the real value here. You want to keep your employees safe. You also want to minimize costly fines when accidents do occur on the job.
