5 Tips To Create A Safe Workplace For Your Employees

Amidst client meetings, balancing finances and developing projects, one aspect can often be overlooked when running a business – safety. Safety is an integral part no matter what type of work setting you’re in. Whether it’s inside a company office building or being mobile in the field, business owners should be increasingly aware of various safety precautions; not only to keep employees happy, but also to avoid serious accidents that can lead to unwanted legal action.

StockPKG, the leading distributor of discount business supplies and custom packaging solutions, knows the importance of enforcing safe workplace behaviors. Each day, StockPKG helps business owners who need to devote their office’s safety strategy to the necessary safety practices and products available today. This is why they’ve created simple, cost-effective safety tips for you to implement in your workplace, along with the premium products needed to help achieve these goals, easily found on their website.

1. Organization is key. An organized work area clears the mind of clutter and makes it easier to find items while maintaining a safe atmosphere, far from tripping and other dangers. Simple compartment organizers keep desk documents systemized while cable tubes keep cords clustered and controlled.

2. Provide employees with proper furniture and tools for extended reach. Reaching for files or other objects at an elevated height without the correct ladder or step stool can lead to severe injuries. A folding step stool placed in a common area can help avoid the hazards of slips and falls.

3. Routine checkups of electrical supplies. Cords, space heaters and other electrical supplies should be inspected and maintained regularly to avoid fire hazards and violate safety codes. StockPKG offers a myriad of high performance cords and utility heaters for those needing to update their stock.

4. Ensure safety supplies are readily available to all employees. First-aid kits, safety goggles, gloves and flashlights should be handy at all times in case of emergencies. StockPKG has an entire section devoted to discounted safety supplies in their online marketplace found here.

5. Don’t forget to provide the appropriate safety apparel for your profession. Reflective vests, vinyl gloves, work or cold protection gloves, safety goggles, coveralls or protection suits might be necessary to keep your body safe in the work environment or for protection against the outdoors. 

It all comes down to being prepared for any potential safety hazard; fully prepping your team on the dangers – be it small or large – that can occur in the workplace is a great first step. With these five easy, practical tips and StockPKG’s one-stop-shop for all necessary supplies, your business can be on the right path to safety.
