Workplace safety is a top priority for employers in the ship repair and shipbuilding industry. Any given day presents a varied list of potential hazards, whether it be the risk of falls, heat stress, welding fumes, dangerous equipment, or accidents involving handheld tools. A well-trained, supplied, and aware workforce with established safety practices can greatly reduce the likelihood of violations and injuries.
The Safety Standard of Excellence mark exists to recognize the firms that have distinguished themselves as premier safety leaders within the staffing industry. In conjunction with the American Staffing Association (ASA) and the National Safety Council (NSC), this program was developed to encourage staffing firms to incorporate and promote workplace safety best practices and standards and promote continuous safety improvement across all industry sectors.
Workplace safety, regardless of your specific industry, is a vital responsibility for all good employers. But in certain work environments, like a shipyard or industrial warehouse, having a comprehensive understanding of safety regulations and effective training regimens for employees is especially important.
