People have to be trained to use all machinery which is needed at work so that it is used correctly and does not pose a risk to yourself and others. Identifying and following procedures should be practised in the work place. Organizational practices that promote safety can also help a company establish competitive advantage by reducing costs of absenteeism due to accidents and complying with safety laws. People who are working in our company have to recognise the risks when using substances such as toner or correcting fluids. These should be dearly labelled so they are not used for other purposes. They should be securely closed to reduce risk of leaking and they should be safety stored so they are not knocked over by mistake. All office equipment has to be used as intended and safety procedures have to be conducted i.e. laminator should be used only to secure important documents and cannot be touched after use as it may be hot. Do not put your hands too close to shredder machine as you may be hurt and only waste confidential papers can be placed into it.…

    Culture Of Safety Case Study

    The finding that the Culture of Safety positively relates to the client’s perception of the operational and financial performance of a project is consistent with the literature finding of the unintended positive impacts of a culture of accident prevention (Mossink & de Greef, 2002).
