Effective construction safety and health practices are essential for safe and productive job sites. These practices offer a proactive way to address safety and health issues. Instead of reacting after an injury or illness, employers can prevent problems before they happen.
THE BENEFITS OF PROACTIVE SAFETY AND HEALTH PRACTICES
Responsible employers know the main goal of safety programs is to prevent injuries, illnesses, and deaths. However, there are other benefits too. For example, these practices can:
- Improve production and quality
- Boost employee morale
- Help with recruiting and retention
- Enhance your reputation with customers, suppliers, and the community
By addressing hazards early, employers avoid the costs of workplace injuries. Plus, they create a positive and safe work environment.
HOW TO USE THE RECOMMENDED PRACTICES
Each section of the recommended practices focuses on a core program element. Then, it provides actionable steps. These steps guide general contractors, subcontractors, managers, and workers. They help establish, implement, and improve safety and health programs.
