Taking the time to properly train your employees on basic health and safety measures is not only good for your company’s income, it’s also good for the longevity of your staff members. No one wants to think about the worst happening, but in reality, it can happen to anyone at any time. The following 5 reasons why businesses should prioritise health and safety training will help convince you that it’s worth taking the time and money to ensure your staff are safe at work and home alike.
Your employees are your company’s most valuable asset. But, what happens if a worker is injured? There are numerous costs associated with on-the-job injuries, including increased insurance premiums, increased risk of lawsuits and staff members forced to leave work because of injuries. By offering health and safety training, you can help prevent workplace accidents and ensure your workers remain healthy while on the job.
One of the key responsibilities as a business owner is to ensure that your company’s employees are safe on-site. You can do this by ensuring that all staff members receive health and safety training. A variety of companies offer on-site training for new employees, but you can also request for a trainer to travel to your offices and provide training for an existing team. Another benefit of having employees trained in areas such as health, safety, accident prevention, first aid and CPR, is it lets people know that their well-being is important to you—and will be taken seriously in case they ever need help. Many businesses don’t prioritise employee wellness because they lack sufficient budget or time.
Costly injuries, missed workdays and poor productivity can cut into your business’s income. Even if you don’t think your employees will be facing health and safety risks, it pays to take preventative action. By providing all of your staff with training on how to keep themselves safe on-the-job, you’ll reap higher profits from happier employees who are more productive. Increased productivity also contributes to far better profits.
Well-trained staff will make a safer environment, which is good for your customers and clients. Even if you have a solid health and safety plan in place, training is essential to ensure your workers know how to handle emergencies effectively. If people are trained properly, they can be more likely to react well during a crisis situation. They'll also feel more empowered about their own safety, which can translate into better morale overall. When employees feel comfortable coming to management with concerns—no matter how small—they will be far more likely to take initiative to fix them. When there's transparency at every level of an organisation, it’s easier for everyone involved in your business (customers included) to trust that it operates safely on all levels.
Out-of-control injuries, slips, trips and falls cost companies a lot of money in workers’ compensation claims. By equipping employees with health and safety training, companies can cut down on these types of accidents, which reduce liability as well as drive up insurance premiums. In fact, regular health and safety training is one of the best investments you can make in your business. Not only will it save money by reducing expensive claims but it also can help to attract potential clients who value your commitment to workplace health and safety.
