The start of the new year serves as a great opportunity to reevaluate efforts, implement improvements, and consider a new approach to safety.

To evaluate efforts, be sure to review your 2024 TRIR data and compare it to peer organizations. If the data for your organization is higher than peer organizations, consider creating a plan of action to correct programs.

In addition to ensuring a safe workplace, implementing recommended practices will bring additional benefits throughout your organization year round.

Below are some tips from OSHA on how safety and health programs can support your organization:

  • Prevent workplace injuries and illnesses
  • Improve compliance with laws and regulations
  • Reduce costs, including significant reductions in workers’ compensation premiums
  • Engage workers
  • Enhance their social responsibility goals
  • Increase productivity and enhance overall business operations
