When trying to establish a safe and healthy work environment for all those present in the work space, it is vital that all employees and staff members report on any hazardous conditions that they may come across. This not only brings awareness to other staff members for their own safety, but also helps to identify the cause of these hazardous incidents and work towards preventing or reducing the rate of their occurrence. When staff members and employers/employees work together to inform each other of harmful situations, there is a better chance of resolving unsafe work conditions much faster. It is thus the duty of all employees and employers to report on close calls, near misses and incidents that occur within the workplace as it increases the chances of identifying the root causes of these incidents. Once the root causes have been identified, it is easier to prevent these incidents have happening frequently. It is important to establish an effective and easy to access platform where all employees and employers are alerted about safety issues in the workplace, and where they are able to easily record and report any harmful situation in order to create a better and safer working environment for all.
This is why using safety compliance software such as Safety Assure is vital to the establishment and maintenance of safe and healthy work environments. Safety Assure allows employees and all staff members to log and record any incident, accident and near miss that they see within the work place on to a single platform to keep others informed. The cloud based solution also helps companies comply with safety standards and to avoid unnecessary expensive fines that could be avoided through safety compliance and adherence to rules and regulations.
