How can you prevent accidents in a workplace?

 In order to prevent accidents in the workplace a company can do the following:

• Educate employees and management staff in order to cultivate a safety standard among employees and management staff. Train employees about the importance of following safety measures as often as possible.
• Research safety vulnerabilities as every business is unique and don’t have the same safety concerns. Pay extra attention to common accidents and develop strategies to keep these setbacks from happening.
• Provide protection equipment. Personal protection equipment is essential and should be enforced at hiring and meetings.
• Monitor safety measures. After initial training, reinforce safety measures at every opportunity. Rewarding employees who abide by setting standards or staying injury free for a specified amount of time can also be very beneficial.
• Keep an orderly workplace. Poor housekeeping can cause serious health and safety hazards. The layout of the workplace should have adequate foot path markings, be free of slipping hazards, and provides stations for cleaning up spills.

In order to achieve this an employer should consult an occupational health and safety expert or implement a health and safety app such as Safety Assure.
