Why You Need Online Safety Training to Improve
the Safety of Your Workforce

• It is estimated that over a million people are
  injured in the workplace each year. Is your
  business liable for employee injury because you
  failed to provide the right training? If so, then
  you could be facing the headache of expensive
  legal proceedings and settlements. Protect your
  business interested by taking care of your
  employees both physically or emotionally.
• What is the top priority for your business? It
  should be focused on preventing accidents and
  health problems.
• You depend on the health and productivity of your
  employees, so you need to make sure that you are
  maintaining safety on the job. Safety training
  and company policy enforcement should be the
  foundation of your efforts.

Choosing Safety Training for Your Company

• A few off-color jokes might seem harmless. But,
  dont be fooled into thinking that it is ok to
  allow these things to happen in your workplace.
  Regardless of your industry, it is important that
  you are providing sexual harassment training and
  enforcing a no-tolerance policy to provide a safe
  work environment.
• Additionally, there are often industry-specific
  training courses that might need to be provided,
  to protect the physical health of your employees.
  Examples of these training courses might be
• Proper methods for handling food
• Chemical management and storage
• Using heavy equipment
• Computer ergonomics
• Even seemingly low-impact employees, such as
  people who work at a computer all day, can be
  injured at work because of repetitive motions.
  So, ergonomics training can be provided to reduce
  the risk of injury in these situations.

Safety Training Saves You Money in Liability
Expenses

• The truth is that a good safety training program
  can save you more money than it costs. These
  intangible savings are hard to calculate, but
  they have a big impact on the bottom line.
• If there is an injury on the job, then
  productivity will be halted, and you will lose
  out on the work that could have been produced by
  that employee. At the same time, morale in other
  employees is often negatively impacted,
  influencing the productivity of everyone in the
  area. In the situation where the person needs to
  leave the workplace, then you are facing the
  costs of hiring and training a new employee.
• Other costs can be incurred because of higher
  corporate insurance premiums, legal fees, and
  expensive court settlements that could total more
  than a million dollars.

Leveraging Online Safety Training

• Just because safety training is necessary,
  doesnt mean that you need to put together the
  curriculum on your own. Now that you know that
  safety training is important to your company, you
  can tap into these benefits by using a
  pre-designed training program.
