Safety is the fundamental building block to creating a high performing, sustainable manufacturing operating systems. When people aren’t worried about getting hurt, they’re free to think about other parts of their jobs. They can think about improving quality or how to improve machine performance. In many instances, if we eliminate minor machine stops and breakdowns through safety engineering, we improve safety — which also improves efficiency and ROI’s and lowers workmen’s compensation costs.
Safety can and should be used as a strategic lever; and at the Innovati Group, we believe the safety of the workforce should be the first concern for any CEO down to the newest intern. Companies that aspire to be World-Class must have safety as a core value. Safety and health are personal to every human being and can have a profound impact on their motivation and morale.
