MOST SAFETY MANAGEMENT

INCIDENT REPORTS

ARE

DECLINING

Safety training , services, and consultants are on the rise. The bureau of labor statistics reports these business trends are effectively decreasing incident rates for days away from work. It is financially smart to have a designated safety professional guiding you. This strategy alone, will prevent lost days of production, workers compensation fees, and unforeseen lawsuits.

However

Transportation and Material Moving Occupations

Had The Highest Incidence Rates.

Despite our nations improvement, Private industry employers reported nearly 3.0 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2012.  Safety management software can help you track all of your paperwork, policy, and compliance needs. Over 20% of workplace incident reports were found inaccurate when audited, which mandated the 2002 change in OSHA record keeping rules.

With so many regulations to follow and paperwork to maintain it is extremely difficult to manage safety compliance with 100% accuracy. Employee injury related forms to file include; 29 CFR Part 1904, 29 CFR Part 1952, Section.4, OSHA Form 300, OSHA Form 300A, OSHA Form 301. Hiring a safety professional is advised, but since compliance is a team effort, it is recommended that you have each employee engaged in the compliance process. By giving each employee 24/7 real time access to their list of what is expected, and 24/7 real time ability to complete forms, or parts of forms, and route it to their supervisor, you are strategically enabling success. This communication technology permits improved training and comprehension of safety and compliance procedures and maintains 100% accuracy in tracking signed and dated forms, which removes your liability as an employer.
