Increased Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective safety programs increase productivity in the workplace. Accidents and illnesses reduce productivity. There is no way to deny that fact. When someone is injured, work stops in their area while the accident is cleared and medical care is provided. If an investigation is required, you may not be able to return that area to service for days or even weeks. You are also short an employee until they are ready and able to return to work. Avoiding accidents stops that process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons to develop a workplace safety program. They increase health, morale and productivity while reducing stress for employees. Workers are also better trained and more prepared to successfully perform their jobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you have employees, you have a certain level of responsibility to them.
