Remove hazards and other items where it should not belong. Keep materials, equipment, and tools in their places and keep it that way. Sooner, even disorganized employees would catch on. What is more, a safe, orderly workplace instills pride even among slobs. It is so easy to add mess to a place that is already disorganized. Add to this are the adoption of office technology that exposes the employees to shocks, skeletal stresses, and muscular strains. To improve safety in the office, take the following suggestions: Conduct safety meetings. People react to suggestions and safety measures from their point of experience. Sometimes there are just employees who are indifferent, unconcerned and has personal issues. For employees occupying higher positions, training is taken more lightly. The higher the position goes, the less attentive the attendee. Sad but true, because even as the concern is improvement, the actual result is good money that is wasted. This is complicated by phone calls that kept on interrupting, even for employees that are really trying to participate. Whistleblower System Sometimes, it is a necessity to adopt the whistleblower system. This can help ensure that the safety standards of the organization are increased as well as maintained by engaging each and every employee in keeping the safety standards in place. Encourage employee participation by making them full aware of the behavior of their colleagues. Not spotting a potential accident from happening, failure to identify potential hazards, ignoring safety rules, ignorance and sometimes, plain indifference are among the largest contributors. Pressures and deadlines further complicate this where supposedly minor risks are taken. Poor Communication - Training is about informing people on methods at doing a task effectively, efficiently, safely. New employees likewise easily learn methods at working things the right way, because safety workplace habits and practices are easily corrected when there is enough involvement. Getting the involvement of everyone in the organization especially whenever workplace safety is concerned generates payback for everyone in the workplace.
