When you’re starting to drown between employee concerns, payroll duties and helping your CEO -- HR Insider is there to help get the logistical work out of the way.
A safety coordinator can have the best, most innovative safety programs in mind. But without the money to implement those programs, they may never see the light of day—and workplace safety may suffer as a result.
Lack of money seems to be a common problem for safety professionals. When we recently asked what the biggest barrier was to a safer workplace, you said:
- Insufficient funding (43%)
- Lack of leadership (34%)
- Lack of time (11%)
- Lack of training (5%).
Insufficient funding and lack of leadership are connected. After all, if your company’s senior management doesn’t believe that workplace safety is a priority and thus doesn’t lead the way on safety initiatives, they’re also unlikely to give the OHS program the money it needs to be fully effective.
