DISCIPLINE CASE STUDY:
SAFETY MANAGERS/OFFICERS

---

Disciplinary Challenge

Employers have recognized that safety is good for business.   A safe and healthy workplace goes far beyond protecting workers from injury and illness.  In fact, beyond the cost savings for preventing lawsuits and increased insurance rates, a successful occupational safety and health program can reduce absenteeism and turnover, increase productivity, improve quality, and raise employee morale.  However, the success of a occupational safety and health program is dependent on managing and maintaining plans, training, and drills to ensure safety standards are upheld and compliance to local, state, and federal laws.
