These programs are tailored both to the individual client’s needs but also to legal requirements. We help to aid as a guide to the implementation of both OSHA regulations and client requirements. These programs openly outline both employee and employer responsibility, accountability, and authority within each location.
Minimizing or eliminating workplace hazards does not need to be time-consuming or expensive per se, but protocols do need to be in place. Awareness of possible workplace hazards can increase productivity, prevent illness and injury, reduce days off, and ultimately these protocols can save lives.
OSHA compliance standards are regulations that describe the procedures employers must use to protect their employees from hazards. There are four groups of OSHA compliance standards: General Industry, Construction, Maritime, and Agriculture. Every workplace has OSHA regulations, and these procedures need to be developed adequately to meet legal requirements. Amerisafe works to help your company improve safety and health programs through our OSHA compliance consulting services.
Companies that properly manage occupational safety and health will always position themselves to function more efficiently. These companies most often experience decreases in worker turnover, lower insurance rates, and higher levels of employee productivity; all of these factors work together to improve company profitability. The National Safety Council reports that for every $1 an employer invests in safety, a $3 to $6 return on investment is made.
Biological hazards involve natural materials employees may come in contact with that pose a threat to employee health. Employees working with others, animals, or infectious materials can be exposed to these biological hazards. If they are exposed, protocols need to be in place to protect the employee. Blood, fungi, mold, viruses, and animal droppings are all examples of the types of biological hazards a worker can encounter on the job. We continue to see how dangerous biological hazards can be with regard to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Physical hazards are hazards that can injure an employee regardless of physical contact or specific proximity. Examples of physical hazards would be radiation, extreme temperature conditions (hot and cold), and consistent sound exposure.
Ergonomic hazards are defined as hazards that cause wear and tear on the body that can likely lead to injury. These workplace injuries can develop over more extended time periods and can often go unnoticed for the majority of their duration. Ergonomic hazards occur when employee work is repetitive, physically limiting, or poses certain strains to the body. Examples of ergonomic hazards would be stress, stationary position, forced posture, and repetitive body movements.
While no company can prevent 100 percent of workplace accidents, we feel that a majority of these accidents can be prevented by taking proper precautions. Our objective is to be a helping hand for companies looking to create and uphold a safe workplace for every employee. We want to do more than just help prevent accidents. We want to help our clients develop fully realized, safe, and effective protocols for their work environments.
