Employee safety should be at the top of every organization’s priority list. If workers are injured on the job, businesses not only lose manpower, but they can be hit with lawsuits and worker’s compensation payouts as well. So what can your business do to keep employees safe?

Workplace Assessment

Take a walk around your business site and assess any safety hazards that might be present such as exposed wires, wet floors, unruly cables, and the like. If you can fix these hazards right away, do so.

Preventative Action

Taking proper precautions to ensure employee safety significantly lowers the likelihood of an accident. If fixing your workplace hazards requires the purchase of equipment such as cable protectors or warning whips, Checkers Industrial can help. We have a variety of products such as wheel chocks, cable protectors, industrial signals and other products to help you prevent injuries to your employees while on the job.

Inform Your Employees

Once safety hazards have been corrected with proper industrial safety equipment, inform your employees. Conduct training and pass out safety manuals and materials that let them know where safety hazards may be located and how to proceed.

Informing and training your employees on safety hazards is not only your legal obligation, but it is also another step which will help ensure that your business runs smoothly.
