All manufacturing and industrial companies are different and must comply
with a broad range of safety and health compliance regulations.
Controlling the rising cost of doing business has forced many companies
to rely on outside expertise. As productivity quotas increase,
companies must manage safety issues that directly affect the bottom
line. A safety preparedness program will prevent injury from occurring at your
workplace. A safety preparedness program will save your company hours
of logistical work and wasted aggravation. And last but not least,
although it is a money investment, your returns are almost guaranteed
to save your company money in the long run. Since being serviced by Safety On Hand, many companies' Experience Modification Factor (EMF) has
decreased significantly saving them tens of thousands of dollars per
year. Compliance
The Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) is a U.S. federal agency under
the Department Of Labor. The mission of OSHA is to save lives, prevent
injuries and protect the health of America's workers. To accomplish
this, federal and state governments must work in partnership with the
more than 100 million working men and women and their six and a half
million employers who are covered by the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970.
OSHA and its state partners have approximately 2100 inspectors, plus
complaint discrimination investigators, engineers, physicians,
educators, standards writers, and other technical and support personnel
spread over more than 200 offices throughout the country. This staff
establishes protective standards and vigorously enforces those
standards.
OSHA investigations are equally unpleasant as the fines. In many cases
OSHA orders a plant to be shut while an investigation is conducted.
With high overhead expenses of a plant and no income due to no
production, companies can be forced to go out of business during an
OSHA investigation.
By implementing an OSHA compliance program, comprehensive safety
training, and proper record keeping, you not only have nothing to worry
about but are creating a safer environment for your employees, clients
and yourself. Show me the money...
The math is quite simple.
If work injuries cost Americans $146.6 billion in
2002, which amounts to $1,060 per worker;
why not invest LESS per
worker for safety preparedness? Resources
