Now, any business of any size can invest in safety …for free!
Implementing a Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) at your business can help give you the peace of mind that comes with proactively taking steps to prevent workplace accidents and injuries.
Companies that implement effective safety and health management systems in the workplace can greatly reduce the number and severity of work-related accidents and illnesses. Using the proactive approach presented in Safety and Health Management Systems for Small Businesses, managers and employees work together to identify workplace hazards and potentially dangerous conditions.
