It’s true. A safety plan is more than posters and stats.
But understanding the risks can absolutely put safety into perspective. Automation
The Risks
- Human Risks – Both the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) track on-the-job injuries and fatalities. Contact with objects and equipment is among the top causes of injury by NIOSH with electrocutions and getting caught in or between machines, devices, or tools ranking in OSHA’s “fatal four” list.
- Downtime Risks - A situation causing a safety incident can, many times, require a system shut down. Whether it’s a machine shut down or a work stop to investigate the situation, a breech in safety can mean a drop in production.
- Legal Risks - Depending on your industry and its governing body, a safety violation can mean significant fines and even closures.
