The Key To Building A Great Safety Program Using Hard Hat Stickers
World class construction companies have excellent safety programs. Their accident and injury rates are low. Their employees willingly participate in the program and follow the systems put in place with positive attitudes. This leads to large increases in the bottom line due to better productiveness, less down time and lower workers comp costs.
So why do smaller contractors and companies have such a problem running a good safety program?
Large companies use time tested tried and true methods to deal with employees. These methods are normally not made use of in smaller companies simply because they have not set up a structure or set of rules to follow that will make a company wide program work.
Many small business owners have built a successful business by being the type of person that does not ‘follow the crowd’. They’re risk takers and aggressively pursue what they really want. They are typically not individuals who like to follow rules.
This mindset that builds a small company can work against the business while it grows. Large companies have built their success by putting in place rules and systems that actually work to encourage employee participation and individual ownership in working to keep employees and the workplace safe. And here are two main steps you can take to build your own program.
Remember, rules apply to everybody:
When a company initially sets up a safety program the policies that need to be put into practice usually come from OHSA regulations and information from their Workers Compensation insurance company. Don’t fight the rules. You can’t beat the government, especially OSHA. Don’t complain or criticize the necessity to have to supply or buy safety equipment. Publicly, in front of your employees, always take a positive attitude about changes that need to be made.
Wearing a hardhat is commonplace and well accepted, but other rules such as the mandatory use of safety glasses or respirators in certain situations sometimes appears as cumbersome and unnecessary by yourself. If you pass this attitude through to your workers, you’ve started a losing battle.
Even if you dislike the rules and additional expense, realize that you have to think of the future of your organization. Send a positive message to your employees by telling them that the OSHA rules that need that must be followed are there due to accidents that have happened in the past. And while the risk may be small, it’s very much better to be safe than sorry.
Speak in terms of how you would hate to have anybody accidentally hurt or be disabled by not following the rules. Tell your people that you understand that it is inconvenient at first, but that like everything else in life it is something that a person will become accustomed to.
Safety rules will begin to become second nature to your people when you send the right message. And the essential thing to remember is that you need to let everyone know in no uncertain terms that these rules apply to everyone, no exceptions.
Do not let a visitor or any other non job site employees into work areas without wearing exactly the same protection that is required of the workers. The number one rule to make a safety program work is that the rules pertain to everybody, at all times.
Recognize compliance through a visual program:
Hardhat stickers make a perfect method to visually enhance your company’s safety program. The metrics that you employ to define the system aren’t the things that are important. They could be hours or days worked without a job injury, amount of safety inspections passed by each employee or employee group, or any other measurement that you may want to use.
The important thing is that you along with your company has a system that positively passes on the message that the company is running their safety program to ensure that employees are not hurt or injured. And that the business is proud of the contribution that employees make that further the success of the program.
Give out hard hat decals that show that the employees are a part of your group. Make sure to make this happen on a regular basis such as at month-to-month or bi-weekly meetings.
What you must do is always to pass on the message to all that you, as the owner, are concerned about safety first. Not about the cost of a safety program or diminished profits. You can easily do this just by changing your mindset.
When you do you will find that you reap exactly the same rewards as large companies. By putting your employees and their safety first, you will see much better attitudes and improved work performance. Follow these tips and you’ll see that you can make your safety program work for you as well as your company.
