3 Ways Investing In Safety Staff Leads To Successful Projects

When developing a project of any scale, the distribution of funds is critical to the project’s success. Deciding how much to invest in each project area and phase can directly affect the project’s schedule and bottom line. While there are certain areas of a project that can subsist with lower funding, safety is not one of them. There is an abundance of reasons why it pays to spend more money on safety professionals as opposed to trying to save money in this department.

Investing in the right safety professional can help launch a safety culture that will decrease the likelihood of accidents.

Top tier safety professionals have earned their wages through exceptional performance and commitment not only to safety practices, but also safety mindsets. This caliber of professionals work to instill a thought process built on the foundation of why it is important to be safe, thus creating a positive safety culture within the workplace or job site.

When investing in temporary safety staff, spending more means added support from their staffing company.

For staffing companies, one of the most consistent pieces of negative feedback stems from a lack of support for their placed temporary employees. With many staffing companies there is a direct correlation between cost and support received. Many staffing companies simply recruit, place, and collect their money without providing needed support to their temporary employees or clients. This leaves both the employee and client at a much greater risk for poor performance and results. Invest in an employee who has the proper skills, training, and ongoing support from their parent company to ensure that the employee is being held accountable from all fronts.

Decrease the likelihood of OSHA violations and fines.
