1. STATISTICS ABOUT WORK-RELATED ACCIDENTS

STATISTICS ABOUT WORK-RELATED ACCIDENTS

Business owners and managers must be fully familiar with a broad range of safety and health requirements to ensure adequate working conditions and the safety and health of all employees within the organization.

The United States Public Health Service reports that during one year, there were almost 8.5 million injuries as a result of accidents at work. The National Safety Council (NSC) reports over 14,000 deaths over the same period.

Many experts, in fact, believe that the actual numbers are much higher. Furthermore, these figures neither reflect the pain and suffering of employees and their families, nor include the tremendous costs of medical treatment, lost working hours, and litigation expenses.

2. REASONS FOR EFFECTIVE SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES

DO YOU HAVE SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION?

It is essential that you and your management team develop and implement effective Safety And Health Procedures within your organization. According to a safety expert Willie Hammer, there are several reasons for establishing effective safety and health procedures within any company as illustrated below.

THREE MAIN REASONS FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES


Moral Reasons	Legal Reasons	Economic Reasons
The objective here is to secure the welfare of employees and their families.	The objective here is to meet appropriate legislation.	The objective here is to reduce injury compensation costs, medical expenses, and production losses.

3. ACTIONS REQUIRED FOR EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH

DO YOU PLAN YOUR SAFETY PROCEDURES IN ADVANCE?

The development of effective Safety And Health Procedures necessitates that you and your management team plan certain actions in advance. Some of these actions are outlined below.

ACTIONS REQUIRED FOR EMPLOYEE SAFETY AND HEALTH

1.	Select a person among the managerial staff who will be responsible for the safety and health of employees.
2.	Ensure safety within the organization and particularly operational safety within the operations department.
3.	Provide sufficient education in safe operational performance to employees.
4.	Keep sufficient records related to safety maintenance procedures.

4. THE BASIC OSHA STANDARDS

THE BASIC OSHA STANDARDS

The safety and health procedures should be developed in accordance with standards set by the Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA).

The Basic OSHA Standards state that every employer:

"...shall furnish, to each of his employees, employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm". (46)

Under the provisions of The Occupational Safety And Health Act Of 1979, OSHA's standards are enforced nation-wide through the offices of the U.S. Department Of Labor. These standards are very comprehensive and apply to all employers except self-employed persons, self-employed farmers and members of their families, and other work places that are regulated by similar standards.

Managers should be aware that several states have created their own OSHA Standards which are sometimes more strict than those created by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Some states, for example, mandate quarterly safety training for all employees. In most states, companies can ask for a voluntary OSHA inspection to assure that they are in compliance. A voluntary OSHA inspection, in fact, may be beneficial to the company for a number of reasons, as outlined below.

BENEFITS OF A VOLUNTARY OSHA INSPECTION

1.	It simply is the right thing to do.
2.	It may help identify areas where the safety of employees is not adequate.
3.	It may avoid possible accidents and injuries of employees.
4.	It may improve the morale of employees.
5.	It may help avoiding unnecessary lawsuits.
6.	It may be economically wise.
7.	It may improve the overall productivity and, ultimately, the "bottom line".

ADDITIONAL OSHA GUIDELINES

If OSHA finds that a particular company does not meet its standard requirements, that company will be given a time frame for correcting the problem or problems without penalty.

Managers should be also aware that according to OSHA's Guidelines, a company can't retaliate against an employee who may decide to file a complaint against the company with an OSHA office.

Please check with your Local OSHA Representative regarding various safety requirements in your state by phone: (800) 321-OSHA or (800) 321-6742.

5. APPLICATION OF THE BASIC OSHA STANDARDS

THE BASIC OSHA STANDARDS

The Basic OSHA Standards for general industry, for example, are set for a broad range of items and activities. (47)

APPLICATION OF THE BASIC OSHA STANDARDS

1.	Walking-working surfaces.
2.	Powered platforms, lifts, and vehicle-mounted work platforms.
3.	Occupational health and environmental control (ventilation, sanitation, etc.).
4.	Hazardous materials.
5.	Protective equipment for employees.

6. SAFETY PROGRAMS IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED COMPANIES

SAFETY PROGRAMS IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED COMPANIES

Safety Programs in small and medium-sized companies are usually developed by managerial employees who are directly involved in the operational activities of the organization.

As safety expert Willie Hammer suggests: "A prime requirement for any successful accident prevention program is to leave no doubt in the mind of any employee that his or her managers are concerned about accident prevention."

The most effective means by which this can be done is that the manager at the highest level possible issues a directive indicating the Accident Prevention Policies and then to ensure that the lower-level managers and supervisors carry them out. If the company's management does not take the safety issues seriously, other employees will not either.

16. OCCUPATIONAL STRESS FACTORS

OCCUPATIONAL STRESS FACTORS

Managers should also be prepared to deal with Health Problems such as drug addiction, alcoholism, or emotional illness. These problems may sometimes occur as a result of Occupational Stress, or Job Stress. Occupational stress places an undesirable burden on the mental and physical state of the employee and may be detrimental to his or her health.

Regardless of its source, occupational stress affects the well-being of employees and has an adverse effect on Job Performance. This, in turn, causes increased frustration, absenteeism and turnover rate of employees, and subsequent deterioration of the company's performance. In order to prevent such a condition, it is essential to identify and assess the following factors illustrated below.

TWO MAIN FACTORS RELATED TO OCCUPATIONAL STRESS


Environmental Factors		Personal Factors
These include the degree of safety and comfort in the workplace and workload, the nature of duties, types of customers, and the sense of job security.		These include the employee's personality, ability to handle stress, attitude toward work and employees, stress in personal life, and state of physical and mental health.
