What is Workplace Safety?

Workplace safety refers to the collective efforts, procedures, and measures to ensure the well-being and protection of employees, visitors, and stakeholders within a work environment. It encompasses a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential hazards, thereby minimizing the risks of accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses. Workplace safety involves the implementation of guidelines, training programs, and safety protocols that contribute to a secure and conducive atmosphere for everyone present in the workplace.

Every safety manager knows that a well-run health and safety program has the potential to prevent workplace injuries, improve productivity and enhance business reputation. Unfortunately, despite the best intentions, traditional paper-based health and safety systems can be cumbersome and inefficient, leading to critical errors and avoided safety protocols.
