There are a tremendous number of OSHA laws that govern workplace safety, and there are things that workers have a right to know.
They have a right to know which chemicals are being used in the workplace that might be adverse to their health, and they have a right to know which tools they might be using that could injure them.
Still, sometimes it make sense to go beyond the OSHA laws for workplace safety and consider proper training to prevent workers compensation claims.
As you are probably aware employers are charged more money each year depending on the number that claims they had in the previous year.
If you go for two or three years with no claims chances on your workers compensation insurance, you should have your premiums go down, or at least stay level while other people in the industry continue to get price increases.
When I say proper training prevents workmen's compensation claims, what I mean is that if you show training videos of how to do the operations of your business with safety in mind you will prevent injuries.
Plus, in the event of a big lawsuit if you can demonstrate and document that you have proper training, and chances are an employee will not be able to sue your business or prevail in an intense lawsuit.
More than one small businessperson in your area has lost their business to a lawsuit due to an employee getting hurt on the job.
Most of the employees hurt on the job, well, it's actually the employees fault but the courts and juries don't always see it this way.
One bad accident can cost you your entire business, so get proper insurance and do the safety training to the best of your ability.
Please consider all this.
