Targeting Achievable Safety Goals for 2016
Be specific, make them measurable, and get everyone involved. When targeting workplace safety goals for 2016 don’t speak in generic terms, make sure your goals are clear to everyone throughout your facility.
When creating your list of things to tackle in the new year start with clear pain points that have come up several times.
For example, areas that have caused minor injuries, near misses, slips and trips, or drops/ struck by incidents. These are the areas within most facilities that are the last to get attention because they seem like results of workers just not paying attentions.
In reality the issues, while they may be small, things like fixing an uneven surface or better organizing an area could make a large impact on injuries seen around a facility. One little change, and the impact could be major, it’s a no brainer!
Don’t always look to the most difficult thing to fix when it comes to setting safety goals, the way to make the biggest impact could be hiding in plain sight.
