SAFETY MATTERS
Continued from page 59
computer software to online programs to smartphone apps.
The simplest solutions allow reporting and tracking to begin
almost immediately.
"Actively using a safety reporting solution may qualify
organizations for up to a 15 percent reduction in OSHA
fines, according to our local OSHA compliance assistance
specialist," said Rob Sweeney, founder and chief executive
officer of Kansas City-based WorkplaceAware, which offers a
user-friendly smartphone app that allows employees to report
safety and other concerns. "What's more, OSHA will likely
increase employer fines by as much as 82 percent by August
2016. Having a plan in place could save you a lot of money."
Data is organized in a secure online dashboard so managers
can track and resolve issues. "Employees already have a smart
device in their pocket," he said. "An app like WorkplaceAware
makes it easy for companies to see and avoid issues before
they turn dangerous and expensive."
Although it can be a bit intimidating, the most proactive and
safety conscious companies are taking advantage of OSHA's
On-site Consultation Program, a free, confidential service

available to small and medium-sized businesses in all states. The
consultation shows companies how to recognize hazards in the
workplace and offers suggestions for resolving them. There are
no citations and no penalties during the process, and anything
found is not reported to local OSHA inspection staff. The only
requirement is that all serious findings be corrected in a timely
manner. In 2015, the organization conducted some 28,000 visits
at small businesses, covering more than 1.4 million workers.
Whether companies ask for help from OSHA or take on
safety management internally, now is a good time to accept
that observing, reporting, tracking and resolving workplace
issues saves lives, prevents injuries and reduces costs. It
even makes the company look better in the eyes of OSHA if
something does go wrong.
"In 2014, private industry employers reported nearly 3
million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics," Sweeney said. "While this
number is lower than previous years, the question remains -
how many near misses occurred in the workplace and were
not reported that could lead to future accidents? Everyone
deserves to go home safely to their family."
