Sometimes our temporary employees can forget that even though a job is temporary, a work comp injury can be permanent and last the rest of their lives. Lack of training, attentiveness, and failure to follow safety protocols can lead to the more severe injuries.
All staffing companies should demonstrate best practices and have a thorough/comprehensive safety program to eliminate or reduce workers compensation injuries. A picture, or several, is worth thousands of words. Below is a link is to a short (and very graphic) video that reminds temporary workers of the possible permanent consequences of a work accident.

While I appreciate this video is very graphic regarding the consequences of work accidents, if you share it with your temporary work force, it may scare them into safe work habits and practices that will last a lifetime. Your workers’ comp carrier including your professional employer organization (PEO) can help you instill a culture of safety within your temporary workforce.
