General Responsibility
No matter who you are, safety is important. Owners, operators and maintenance
personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital part of their jobs.
If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember that production is always
affected in a negative way following an accident. The following are some of the ways
that accidents can affect your production:
Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)
Breakdown of shop morale
Costly damage to equipment
Downtime
An effective safety program is responsible and economically sound.
Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group
from the management level. Through this group, the safety program can be
continually reviewed, maintained, and improved. Keep minutes or a record of the
meetings.
