in Health and Safety
Once an organization has established an appropriate safety
culture, the next task is to make safety consistent and reliable.
Perhaps even more challenging than achieving a certain level of
safety performance is maintaining it over the long term. With so
many guidelines, statistics and opinions, it can be difficult to
determine the right solutions for any given work environment. In
most cases, there are no one-size-fits-all answers. Moreover,
workers can become disengaged when they feel unappreciated
or their suggestions are not taken seriously. This disengagement
is detrimental to sustaining safety performance and can result in
safety concerns becoming more prevalent.

Workplace Ergonomics
Providing workers with the equipment they need to do their work
safely, productively and comfortably is another way to improve
the safety culture of an organization. Poor workplace design and
inadequate equipment can cause workers to bend, twist, reach
and move their bodies in ways that can lead to muscle pain or
injury. Employees who sit at a computer for the majority of their
workday can also suffer from lower back pain and other
ergonomic issues if their workstations are poorly designed and
place additional stress on their bodies. Take a look at our blog
post on workplace ergonomics for more information.
