Safety

Safety in the workplace is everyone's responsibility, but starts with senior management making a strong commitment to safety by implementing a corporate safety program.

All levels of your organization need to understand basic health and safety principles, from new hires and existing workers to contractors, supervisors and managers. Implementing a safety program will provide a systematic approach to ensuring that all employees are conscious of the safety program and their personal responsibility to workplace safety.

Safety Program Development

A corporate safety program is a specific and systematic plan, which ensures high safety standards throughout every part of a company's operations. An effective safety plan identifies and controls hazards and establishes emergency plans in order to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents.

There are numerous reasons to implement a safety program within your business. The primary reason is to improve the protection of the workers health and safety. In addition, an effective safety program provides many financial benefits, which include reducing costs due to injuries and property damage, potential reduction in Worker's Compensation Assessments, and a potential reduction in insurance premiums. All things considered an effective safety program will pay for itself.

Safety programs will vary from company to company depending on the company size, hazards found in the workplace and the complexity of the workplace. PINTER & Associates Ltd. has experienced safety professionals to assist clients in developing a specific and effective safety program.

Safety Audits

Safety audits review procedures, practices and policies of a company and measures the performance of the companies safety program. An audit is essentially a "snapshot" of the companies performance, which highlights areas that exceed or fall below standards.

Why does your company need a safety audit?

1. Safety audits ensure that your company is meeting regulatory and internal obligations.
2. Safety audits give employees and management feedback on how well the safety program is achieving standards as set by policy and regulations.
3. Safety audits provide management with value-added direction and guidance in the development of future strategies for continuous improvement.
4. Regular safety audits demonstrate due diligence, when appropriate corrective action has been implemented.
