Safety is the expected norm in every functioning workplace no matter what the industry. Workers have the right to a safe working environment, which is why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, better known as OSHA, was created in 1971. While every company has a standard to meet, there are additional safety protocols that can aid a company in creating more productivity. Evaporative cooling company, Portacool, knows exactly how to implement that and wield beneficial results.
What implementations can companies put in place to increase safety, and subsequently, productivity among their workers?
For the latest episode of Keep Kuul, host Michelle Dawn Mooney interviewed Portacool’s Safety Manager, Micah Fenton, on how safety improves work quality, and why implementing safety protocols in the workplace raises safety awareness.
Mooney and Fenton further discussed …
1. The link between employee safety and productivity
2. Implementing safety methods in the workplace
3. The importance of safety and prioritizing it among staff
“Well, safety is just the right thing to do. So, if you have employee safety, that’s just the right thing to do — to have for your employees. It's just the most quality thing that you can do for your employees. So, not only are you going to get quality product, you have quality employees because they actually want to be there. They want to be working, they want to be working in a safe environment. No one wants to go to work in a place where they don't feel like they're safe there … So, safety is a huge deal, so we always keep it in mind, keep it on the focus, keep it in the conversation,” said Fenton.
Micah Fenton is the Safety Manager at Portacool. She’s been with the company for over a year now and is a graduate of Texas State Technical College
