Safety training is a designed process that links the employer and employee with a commitment to reduce accidents and injuries, a commitment to return to work, and a shared understanding that the employees are valued. It is imperative that employers have written programs in place to demonstrate their plan and commitment to SAFETY.
When implemented effectively, a safety program is the most powerful tool an employer has to combat excessive Workers’ Compensation premiums, fraud, and liability. Employers can create a safety culture by using memos, bulletin boards, newsletters, and posters to keep employees focused on SAFETY.
