As cliché as it sounds, January is a time of new beginnings. A fresh new year is upon us, and with it comes optimism and hope. Let’s apply the same hope and optimism to your Health & Safety and Human Resource programs.
Use this fresh start to approach your program with fresh eyes and outlook. If components of your program were unsuccessful, revisit the cause and determine what can be done to improve your program.
For example, if your workplace saw an increase in injuries, dig deep and find the root cause. Are
employees aware of how to work safely? Have they read and understood SOPs (Safe Operating
Procedures) and your Hazard Assessments? Do these items exist in your workplace? Hint,
legislation requires these so they should!
For some organizations, your Health & Safety and HR programs are a robust, well-oiled machine,
and that’s fantastic! Keep up the great work! Approach with caution though – you don’t want to lose
any momentum or interest. Find ways to make tweaks and improvements. Can the reporting of
incidents and reporting to compensation boards be improved? Have you considered using Dunk &
Associates Report It feature? Check out what Report It can do for your workplace here.
Last but certainly not least, don’t be afraid to ask for help! Running effective Health & Safety and
Human Resource programs takes a lot of work, time, and effort. If all of this falls on your shoulders,
reach out and ask other members of your organization for help. And don’t forget about Dunk!
