Boring. Workers compensation and public liability sound like well-covered, boring topics. “Cringe-worthy” as far as training in many employees’ eyes. OSHA made real improvements over past decades, lowering incidents by 10 – 20% where there is inspection and training, yet the improvement reached a floor and won’t go lower. Also, 40% of claims are non-traumatic injuries such as carpal tunnel. Slips and falls rack up an impressive 9,000,000 incidents per year and public liability claims cost millions and generate lots of adverse publicity and disruption. What if training could get the reaction in the big photo instead of the little photos above?
Is there an inner meaning to getting everyone in the company to look out for their own and fellow employees’ safety and well-being, and to get them to spot things that might injure a visitor? The very power of a company or institution comes from its cohesiveness. Two thousand pairs of eyes can see things that no dedicated single pair will see. Keeping a neat and tidy place in good repair is the very symbol of pride and ownership. On the other hand, walking past the same obviously broken and chipped concrete step or rusty and loose railing, day after day, is a symbol of resignation, defeat and burn-out. So, while cutting down on actual claims, aches, pains, lost days and lawsuits, why not use our unique methods to build company pride and a sense of ownership?
