A serious workplace injury or death changes lives forever – for families, friends, communities, and coworkers too. Human loss and suffering is immeasurable.  Occupational injuries and illnesses can provoke major crises for the families in which they occur.

When you create a healthy and safe workplace, you reduce those issues of employee attrition and absenteeism in workplace. By budgeting for safety improvements and making safety part of your operational plan, you engender trust. By involving employees in safety decisions— following through on their input and improving safety, you prove quite tangibly that you care about their well-being. Workers typically respond by working harder, showing more pride in their jobs and remaining loyal.

A safe workplace tends to be a more efficient one, free of debris and tangles of cords. By working in a clean, efficient environment, workers are able to reduce distractions and truly focus on the quality of what they do. It’s about creating a highly profitable company. And that’s why it’s important.
