Cultivating a Culture of Conscious Safety
While OSHA and other applicable laws require employers to provide a safe workplace, workplace/office safety training is more than just a legal matter. A safe workplace increases employee satisfaction, enhances performance, limits liability, and avoids costly conflict and distraction. The first line of defense against workplace injuries—the first step in creating a healthy workplace and safety-aware workplace—is an informed workforce. Managers and employees need to understand the basics of workplace (office) safety, including workplace violence, the basics of an illness and injury prevention plan, and the importance of reporting.
