Site Specific Safety Plan
It’s crucial for industrial job sites to implement a site specific safety plan to protect both their workers, and the environment.
In order to achieve an incident-free industrial operation, there must first be a culture where industrial safety is a constant. It all starts with a well-trained workforce that is confident and armed with knowledge and authority to halt a job if employees or the environment are at risk.
It’s important that a site specific safety plan be implemented rather than a general plan, since there are a wide variety of site conditions which can vary. For instance, some industrial jobs are only days long, while others are completed over months or years.
Protecting Workers
Establishing a comprehensive safety and health program is one of the best ways to protect valuable workers. If any worker should become injured or ill, even for a short time, it not only is damaging to them, it be a significant disruption to their families. When a worker is injured or sick by something that happens on your job site, productivity, workplace morale, and reputation can all be affected.
According to OSHA, today’s industrial safety and health programs have become more proactive, using a “finding and fixing” approach. In other words, management and workers collaborate to identify and anticipate job site hazards before they can cause injury or illness.
Protecting the Environment
Safeguarding the environment should be a priority during all industrial operations and it requires an equal commitment from all team managers and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is not only necessary, it’s ethically responsible in any site specific safety plan.
Whether it’s related to scaling back emissions, or reducing a percent of land used at a facility, or a simple shift of energy source from nuclear to wind power, it’s clear that industrial companies need to be conscious of their impact.
