    Workplace Safety Pays Off on the Bottom Line Emediawire press release
    “The first crucial step,” Lauby said, “is to conduct a complete, thorough walk-through of your facility. Check the walls, floors, first-aid kits and fire extinguishers. Ask managers if they have the documentation to show the appropriate employees have been trained in forklift safety, bloodborne pathogens or hazardous chemicals in your workplace.”

    Lauby advises scrutinizing a different aspect of workplace safety every week so you don’t overlook a significant threat.

    “Safety information is only useful if employees read it and retain it. Instead of making them struggle with OSHA jargon, legal terminology, and wordy regulations, use quick-read posters or videos. It’s your obligation as the employer to provide them a safe workplace.”
