IMPORTANCE OF A SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLAN

“BUILDINGS ARE NOT MADE TO BE A RISK. MAKE SURE EVERYONE’S SAFETY IS TAKEN CARE OF”

Serious workplace injuries or death can change lives forever for everyone involved. Whether it’s friends, family, the community or the business involved, such incidents can result in serious financial losses as well as the lifelong physical and mental impacts of a worksite injury for the person or persons involved.
As a business, it is your responsibility to ensure all employees and contractors on-site work in a way that is safe and minimizes risk.
