Know Your Vulnerabilities
Every industry has a different set of vulnerabilities to consider. For example, restaurant employees must be mindful of wet floors while construction workers must be mindful of large, moving machinery. Before every project or workday, look for the areas in which your team may be vulnerable to a workplace accident and take the appropriate steps to ensure safety.
Strengthen Your Skillset
Many accidents occur because of lack of knowledge or skills to perform a job. Before starting a project, make sure you do your research about how to accomplish the task. Taking the time to learn and understand how to correctly complete a project will help you avoid accidents.
Complete Every Step
Shortcuts might produce quicker results, but they can also cause accidents! No matter the task, always follow each step to ensure safety. If you discover a safer, more efficient way to complete a task, talk to your team about it and implement it for future reference.
