OSHA requires employers to implement lockout/tagout procedures to keep equipment from starting up unexpectedly and causing injury during repairs. Lockout/tagout procedures themselves always follow the same basic steps, but it can be a daunting task to put OSHA’s requirements into practice because of the huge variety of machines being used and tasks being done.
Today, the risk and safety community often questions why we emphasize psychological aspects of workplaces when safety breaches persist. This overlooks the role of social factors in multiplying risks. With a workforce spanning five generations and diverse communication styles, including contingent labor, we face heightened challenges in safety communication. Outdated methods fail to address risks effectively, necessitating a shift toward fostering supportive networks and positive risk communication. This presentation is aimed at integrating psychological safety elements into work systems, reducing workplace risks and errors.
In today's fast-paced world, navigating the complexities of safety program management can be daunting. Traditional paper and pen methods often lead to inefficiencies, especially as organizations expand and regulations evolve. Embracing digital safety software offers a transformative solution to this challenge.
By digitizing your safety program, you can overcome the limitations of paper-based systems, streamline processes and mitigate the risks associated with manual errors.
