A Good Health & Safety Program is an excellent cost reduction tool.

Most large businesses have recognized this and have established their own programs. Healthy employees are more productive and lose less time from work because of illnesses. Good programs also lead to much less loss of time due to accidents. A boost in worker morale is also a secondary benefit.

In the past, many small businesses have had to forego the benefits because the expense of running a program outweighs the potential savings. Now-a-days, even the smallest businesses can have a modest program. Our associates that participate in the Employee Leaseback program, obtain free assistance from us in seting up their programs. In addition, there are many sites on the world wide web that provide helpful information. We have provided links to a few.

Every company should have some type of Health & Safety program even if it is the minimum, "no-cost" option described above. If your company can benefit from a full scale program, you have two choices (a) create your own, or (b) take advantage of our experience in managing a program for you. We customize our program to suit your needs. Some clients select a limited program while others request all that we offer. Here are some of the items that can be included in a customized program:

• Prepare a Safety policy manual.
• Conduct weekly safety meetings.
• Conduct new employee orientation.
• Establish a safety committee
• Set-up emergency evacuation guidelines
• Conduct practice drills on how to respond to emergencies
• Provide training in first aid, CPR etc.
• Create safety teams.
• Conduct safety inspections.
• Perform indoor quality tests.

Some businesses have specific needs. For example, chemical manufacturers may like to fit workers with personal monitors to determine exposure to certain substances. If you have special needs, contact us. We will be happy to discuss them.
