An effective Health and Safety Program will help to reduce costs, maximize productivity, and help organizations meet legal requirements and moral obligations to protect workers from illness and injury. By demonstrating a commitment to a strong culture of safety, you will attract safety-conscious workers and drive employee morale and engagement.
