Hytrol Conveyor Reduces Costs of Injuries and Empowers Employees with Workplace Safety

March 19, 2015 - PRLog -- Taking steps toward workers’ safety is imperative to a thriving environment; it creates more loyal employees, improves quality, and reduces the costs of injuries. Charlie Clay, Hytrol's Safety Manager, explains how manufacturers can be proactive with workplace safety.

Empower employees. The key to having a safe workplace is getting employees involved.  Communicating safety as a company value through practices and decisions. Publicize safety-related initiatives, and have a process in place for getting employee input and quickly following up on that input.

Interface with medical staff. Some health hazards are less easily caught, especially any long-term chemical exposure that could lead to issues down the line. That’s why manufacturers need to interface with local medical staff. According to OSHA, “medical screening and surveillance are two fundamental strategies for optimizing employee health.”

Hire an industrial hygienist. An industrial hygienist is a person who finds health hazards and corrects them. Industrial hygienists use strict scientific methodology to find these issues, working with many areas to implement safe systems and procedures in the workplace. They have to have a basis in many areas, from physics to toxicology, to be able to assess your work environment.

Workplace safety is the manufacturer’s legal responsibility and being proactive may save the costs of fines and injuries down the line, but it is about more than that.
