When I operated my national staffing firm for 15 years, we would always review “on the job” safety procedures during the interview and orientation process. We also tried to follow up periodically on the safety guidelines we disseminated. We found that education about the importance of safety at our staffing firm, enabled us to keep a low mod and maintain relatively low workers compensation rates.
Here are 5 things we did in our staffing firm that may help your temporary and permanent staff keep safety top of mind.
- Place stickers on employee pay envelopes that say “Think Safety” or “Put Safety First.” These little reminders will help employees focus on safety while they are on the job.
- Add a web page to your web site for employees to anonymously report unsafe acts by other employees or clients operating unsafe facilities.
- Reward an employee who reports a fellow employee who is fraudulently using your workers compensation benefits.
- Give a monthly bonus to employees who suggests how jobs can be done more safely.
- If you have a Company newsletter or blog, regularly include articles on ways to improve on the job safety. If you do not have a Company newsletter, Work Comp Staffing Solutions can help you create one.
Remember maintaining low workers compensation rates often depends on having a low mod; which reflects good safety practices.
