The good news is that statistically, work environments in the US are getting safer. Between 2003 and 2010 according to the BLS, there were 25% less non fatal work related injuries per year. But despite this good news, there were still nearly 1M days of loss productivity as a result of these non fatal work related injuries.
So clearly creating a safe work environment pays off for the employer and employees. A safe working environment can improve moral as well as increase productivity. Every employer should have a goal of creating a safe environment for these reasons. Everybody wins when the work place is safer.
Here are some activities that you can do together with your client to help insure a safe work environment for your temporary associates and build a further bond with your clients.
- Help your clients communicate their safety expectations to their employees by assisting them to organize safety meetings, post safety signs around machinery, and make sure all employees have the right training for their jobs.
- Make sure the client is using machines that have been inspected and are in 100% top quality working order.
- Help your client establish safety guidelines and objectives for all the employees and temporary staff at their facility.
- Encourage your clients to clearly state the employees rewards (and consequences) to maintaining a safe work environment.
- Regularly brainstorm with your client how best to highlight safety programs in the facility.
These are just a few suggestions that can help cement your relationship with your clients. Please feel free to contact me for more ideas about turning your safety relationship into more sales for your company.
