Why is workplace safety important?

A workplace safety culture requires buy-in from everyone at your company, from the newest hire up to the CEO and board members. When safety is ingrained in your company culture, all your employees are going to see it as a standard, not a formality. A strong culture of workplace safety means your employees are empowered to point out safety hazards and report unsafe conditions, and they are far more productive in their daily duties thanks to increased confidence in their peers and processes.
