Make Safety a Priority, Not an Afterthought
With an aging workforce and lack of technically skilled tradespeople entering the pipeline, crane & rigging, millwrighting, and machinery moving businesses are being forced to do more with less. This being the case, it is imperative they ensure their workforce stay up-to-date on all required training and certifications, as failing to do so puts employee well-being at risk, threatening the integrity and profitability of their business.
Easier said than done
From WHMIS and welding courses to First Aid and forklift training, staying on top of a seemingly endless list of employee skills and certifications remains a challenge for safety reps and managers alike. Throw in the fact that the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) periodically revises their standards for equipment operation and safety, and you’ve got an overwhelming situation for small to medium-sized businesses that lack the resources to keep up.
Priority problems, software solutions
If your company is struggling to stay afloat in a rising sea of new employee skills and certifications, then WrightPlan's easy-to-use, job management software is your life preserver! Effortlessly weave safety and accountability into project pre-planning with these 5 simple steps:
