Healthy Workplaces: Employers

Maintaining a Healthy Workplace for your employees can reduce expenses and increase productivity.

As an employer or supervisor, you have a responsibility to your company and your employees. Taking steps to ensure a healthy and safe working environment in your company can have many benefits:

Reduced costs associated with accidents and employee downtime.
Increased worker morale and loyalty.
Higher productivity.
Enhanced reputation to market to clients.

Hazard communication is a vital part of safety on the job. Simple steps can help prevent illness and injury and make your employees feel safer as they go about their day.

Maintain an inventory of hazardous substances stored or used in the workplace.
Implement a written hazard communication program addressing Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), labeling and employee training.
Each container of a hazardous substance (vats, bottles, storage tanks) is labeled with product identity and a hazard warning(s) (communicating the specific health hazards and physical hazards).
