Three Ways to Implement Safety Policies for a Safer Work Environment

A survey conducted by Safe Work Australia for the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022 highlighted a relaxed attitude towards risk taking and rule breaking by Australian workers. The survey included responses from 1,052 employers, 520 sole traders, 1311 workers and 669 Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs). Alarmingly, 10% of workers admitted to ignoring safety policies in order to complete a job. 15% of workers revealed their workplace conditions stopped them from working in a safe and sensible manner. This is potentially 10% to 15% of your workforce placing themselves and your business at risk.
