About the content
Occupational safety programs are extremely important for all companies, regardless of the number of employees or the degree of risk present. Not only can organizations be subject to fines if these programs are not implemented, this can also lead to a more unsafe, unpleasant, and disorganized environment for employees.
A safety program must additionally be practical and involve all areas of the organization. It must be part of the company's culture and each change or new implementation must involve all stakeholders.
In this article, Terry Mathis discusses how every area of the company can be active in the security program, making it practical and routine.
