Taking Health & Safety Challenges Head-On
The challenges and opportunities surrounding occupational health and safety are continuously changing. A dedicated commitment by an organization to the health and safety of it’s employees not only ensures compliance, but can yield a positive shift in an organization’s culture, translating into increased productivity and a positive net benefit.
Safety Improves but the Fatality Rates Do Not
Industry continues to refine Occupational Health & Safety practices, reducing the Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) year over year and striving to keep employees safe. However, many challenges remain. Fatality rates are holding steady. Increasing efficiencies and lean processing often require us to do more with less. Then add the complexities of safety and health related issues within a facility (chemical and physical hazards, lockout tagout, confined spaces, fall protection and elevated work, process safety management, hot work, heavy equipment, etc.), and you begin to understand why the lagging indicators (such as fatality rate) remain flat even though we are taking a more concerted approach to leading indicators and improving overall safety.
