The Safety Doctor

Do you know where you are going and where you have been? To help identify unsafe conditions or practices and take action to prevent additional incidents, a review of workplace injuries, illnesses and accident investigations is necessary. Identifying how? How often and what instrument will be used? Who is responsible to ensure the review will occur? What records will be included? How will corrective actions be documented and tracked?

Safety is a “need” of everyone, everywhere, and at all ages. After our basic human needs of food, clothing and shelter have been met, individuals must feel safe before they can progress and become productive. (Consider how immobilized we were immediately after September 11, both at work and at home).

Abraham Maslow (1954) researched human motivation and found that individuals have basic human needs. Each lower need must be met before moving to the next higher level. After the basic psychological needs, individuals need SAFETY. Only after “safety” is met, can individuals become productive and well-balanced citizens.

111 million workers in 7 million workplaces are affected by “safety.” Each of us wants to go to work in one piece and return to our loved ones with “all our parts.” Plus, workplace safety is only one-third of our day. Community and home safety are concerns the other 16 hours of our day. Each of us makes decisions in our daily lives that affect our future. Just one careless moment can trigger an accident that will impact us, and our loved ones, the rest of our lives…..physically, emotionally and financially.

Insurance fees are on the rise and workers’ compensation costs are just the beginning. Some companies have found that for every $1 spent wisely on safety, they realize a return of $3. Where else can you achieve a better ROI?
