Safety Corner

     

President Bush has proclaimed June to be National Safety Month. With accidental deaths totaling over 100,000 the President encourages all of us to remember the importance of health and safety in our lives. Each week for the month of June, the National Safety Council (NSC) has specific areas to focus on safety. Workplace Safety is focus for the Week of June 23- 29.

In 2000, 3.9 million Americans suffered disabling injuries on the job. The typical workplace injury can cost a company $28,000 in wage and productivity losses, medical and administrative expenses, and other costs. When these losses add up, everybody suffers.

Safety leadership is the key to keeping your organization and its employees safe and healthy both on and off the job. Show your company executives how improving workplace safety can significantly improve your bottom line. Your company can realize greater productivity and profit through safety leadership.

Leadership both on and off the job means caring for your employees' health and safety on a "24/7" basis. Learn how to help your employees come to work safe and healthy and prepared to add effectively to your bottom line.
