Challenge

Understanding health hazards and developing programs and procedures to reduce their impact requires a set of skills and understanding that may not be present in your organization.

If hazards are present in the workplace, a program to ensure that employees’ health is not being affected must be in place.

Communicable disease can have a devastating effect on a workforce.

Employees exposed to bodily fluids are at a greater risk of contracting communicable diseases and need to be trained on safe procedures.

Ergonomic issues can have a significant impact on the health of employees.

Employees with undiagnosed conditions could pose a danger to themselves or others. This is even truer if they hold safety sensitive positions.
