3 risk management tools to keep employees safe


Your risk management system is like a moat. Without effective risk management, your employees are more exposed to risks and hazards. With a good system in place, you can protect your organization and keep hazards at bay.
Here are three risk management tools to help you minimize employee risk. 
Annual safety audits
While many organizations look for hazards to stay in compliance with OSHA or other agencies, it’s easy to overlook issues that are less obvious but that could still be contributing to incidents. Doing a safety audit for your organization can open your eyes to risks you haven’t addressed or may not have even considered, then come up with solutions.
Customized communication
Communication is a critical risk management tool in protecting employee safety. Do you want to reduce incidents? How about encouraging safety checks before a job? Identify a safety challenge, then develop customized communication to reinforce your end goal. Maybe you need to post guidelines near hazards, conduct daily safety review meetings or provide safety checklists for new hires. As always, the more communication you use to get your point across, the better.
Electronic safety management systems
Using an electronic safety management such as SIMS™, from ENDURE, allows you to manage your safety program online. This offers a number of risk management advantages, including giving companies real-time information for recorded incidents. Looking at this data will help you discover trends in employee safety, as well as areas of risk that need to be addressed.
