PERSONAL SAFETY
THE SENSE OF SAFETY
BY K.K. SNYDER
Regardless of the scope, profit margin or difficulty of a project, cutting corners with regard to personnel safety can never be justified. A good-faith effort to keep employees safe makes solid business sense and ensures protection of your company's bottom line.
Whether it's fall protection, respiratory care or eyesight and hearing safety, knowing what is required of employers and where to obtain quality safety gear are first orders of business. And, having the equipment on hand isn't enough; employers and their crews also must take responsibility for using the equipment properly in order to get maximum benefits.
