    Safety Management System - Avoid Workplace Injury

    Getting an injured employee to return to work is stressful. Without a safety management system, you’ll be left dumbstruck trying to figure out how exactly to handle workplace injuries. 

    Your employee’s rehabilitation relies on positive attitudes, supportive co-working relationships, as well as active collaboration between employers, workers, and medical practitioners. Most importantly, your workers are dependent on a safety management system (SMS) that only you can provide.

    At Light Duty Pathway®, we take the guesswork out of injury management with our proven modified duty solution lightening the load for employers. We can help you for FREE today with bi-weekly safety training topics!

    Online educational videos, quizzes, and interactive activities.

    What Is Workplace Injury Management?

    Workplace Injury Management is two-fold; it is a system that offers employers a structured return-to-work program while also providing attention and care to injured employees. This is essential for supporting workers who were injured and filed a workers’ compensation claim. Best practices will help the injured associate find a regular routine within the team. Just because your employee filed a claim does not mean you and the employee are at a complete loss. With the right approach, you can cut the costs of workers’ compensation by providing a pathway to staying in the workplace.

     

    Light Duty Pathway’s safety management system helps employers easily focus on supporting their greatest asset: people. Furthermore, our safety program smoothly and efficiently creates a comfortable transition for both you and your injured employee.

    How To Reduce Injuries And Accidents

    Keep workspaces clean

    An unorganized work area is more difficult to maneuver in, as a result, employees are more prone to hazards. It can be as simple as running computer cables and cords properly so employees won’t trip. No matter if you run a manufacturing warehouse or an office cubicle, clean and well-maintained work areas decrease the chance of accidents.

    Post proper signage

    Employers should post signs reminding employees of proper safety procedures in noticeable places, and especially in spaces where those specific procedures should be practiced.

    Stay up-to-date on vehicle maintenance

    If your business provides staff with company vehicles to complete daily tasks, it's crucial that vehicles are well-maintained and serviced on a regular basis.

    Report dangers and accidents

    Most employees know they should report an accident but it's important for employers to encourage and train their staff to bring any foreseeable dangers to your attention.

    Provide proper training

    Employees need to be properly trained for their position. This includes teaching them how to use the equipment and follow safety procedures during their course of work.

    Provide proper equipment

    All employees must be equipped to perform their specific job. Equipment may vary from safety harnesses to proper gloves and goggles. Under no circumstances should employees perform functions without the proper equipment.

    Avoid shortcuts

    Many times accidents happen, not because the safety precautions are unknown, but because familiar and routine work that needs to be completed in a hurry can cause employees to take shortcuts.

    A Safety Management System Is Critical.

    Have you ever imagined or worried that when you head out for work in the morning, you or your loved one won’t be returning home? Or maybe you’ve experienced the fear of getting a call in the middle of the day or night that they are in the hospital due to being injured on the job? Talk about goosebumps.
