Your business:
Safety has been a topic over the past several months and we have discussed how Safety Saves lives, money and business.

Paul Madey, the Safety, Health, & Environmental Engineer for Schneider Electric Raleigh, North Carolina states that Industrial safety programs are designed to accomplish three fundamental goals and objectives. 

1) Proactively protect the environment, workforce, and surrounding community from the potentially harmful by-products of their operational processes. These by-products commonly take the form of hazardous waste, emissions, fires/explosions, toxic releases, employee injuries/illnesses, or the introduction of an unsafe product into the marketplace. 

2) Ensure organizations remain in regulatory compliance with all jurisdictional environmental, health, and safety laws. These laws and regulations reflect the lessons learned from past industrial incidents and disasters and are designed to address society’s increasing demand for industrial stewardship, environmental protection, and preservation of public health and safety. 

3) Provide the organization with a competitive financial advantage in the marketplace by reducing the costs associated with employee injuries/illnesses, non-permitted environmental releases, and litigation.  These costs commonly take the form of lost and restricted work days, medical treatment, increased worker’s compensation claims and premiums, property damage, environmental remediation activities, regulatory fines/penalties, production downtime, and product liability.

Safety saves. When you incorporate world-class safety standards into your organization you achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Make the most of your energy.
