OSHA, or the U.S. Occupational Health & Safety Administration, reports that businesses that make investments in workplace safety should expect to enjoy reduced incidents of workplace illnesses, injuries, and fatalities. Not only does this investment in safety help these businesses improve their bottom lines because of decreased bills for noncompliance penalties, lower workman's compensation premiums, and medical bills, it can also help increase profits with improved employee morale and productivity. In fact, OSHA has an entire page dedicated to studies about how improved safety increases ROI.
In this digital age, one tool that all sorts of companies use to help standardize worker safety and compliance procedures is safety software. It is well worth it to explore how quality safety software can help safety professionals improve their company's track record.
1. Standardized Safety Data
Very often, analyzing the history of safety incidents provides the first step towards improving a company's safety. When environmental, health, and safety pros understand the causes of past incidents, they can suggest measures to avoid these hazards in the future. Safety software improves management access to data, but even more important, it improves the quality of the data and reports, making it easier to spot trends and make good decisions.
2. Employee Training
Many companies take advantage of online training classes that allow employees to learn on their own schedule and from a variety of remote devices. Online classes usually cost less than formal classroom classes, take less time, and have been proven to be effective. Each employee can take a customized set of classes, and completion of these courses is easy to track for both the worker and management.
3. Compliance and Reporting
These days, complying with federal, state, and local safety laws gets complex and time consuming. Noncompliance can result in fines, damage to your company’s reputation, and of course, injuries or illnesses. Good safety software can help produce the reports that managers need to ensure compliance, and report on it to government agencies.
