Improving health and safety measures in manufacturing

The sector is made up of a range of diverse industries with an estimated workforce of 2.5 million. It is essential, that across the board, we are being mindful of risks and ensure manufacturing compliance.

What are the basics?

• Your team need to be in the know. Workforces need to be adequately trained for their job with knowledge on safety protocols and risks, and feel empowered to speak up and take action when working conditions become unsafe.
• Technology can be at the forefront of safety compliance. Each piece of technology should therefore be designed and installed with safety in mind. Not only this, tech has the power to identify risks and areas of caution before even setting foot onto the floor by leveraging virtual and augmented reality.
• Don’t let anything go unnoticed. Some risks aren’t all visible such as hearing damage. Manufacturers need to offer regular health check-ins and provide appropriate workwear to prevent health conditions.
