When it’s Important to Stay in the Know.
Risk Mitigation Considerations for Construction Companies
The recent spike in industry costs, combined with ongoing labor shortages, presents the construction sector with a unique set of financial challenges for 2023 and beyond.
With the help of BCH, you can employ proactive risk mitigation strategies and education programs to provide an extra layer of defense against the challenges that can lead to lost time, money and labor. Below, we've outlined some of the strategies that can help your organization be prepared for any issues your organization may encounter.
Strategies to Improve Safety and Reduce Risks on the Job
Risk Management Programs
Risk management programs help you keep team members prepared when it comes to job site safety. An effective risk management plan includes assessments, emergency response procedures and comprehensive training. In addition, it helps to educate team members about why such measures are important — not just what those measures are. When employees understand the importance of safety and compliance regulations, they are more likely to be proactive about preventing and responding to high-risk scenarios.
BCH offers resources to support the construction industry through our Risk Management Center. Visit our website or contact a Risk Advisor to learn more.
Policy Revisions & Updates
Issuing timely updates regarding OSHA policy changes is the best way to maintain company-wide compliance and avoid penalties. Technical or unfamiliar jargon can make notices regarding rule changes difficult for employees to process and interpret. To help your team stay up to speed, BCH addresses important updates in digestible terms through email communications and online resources. Make it a point to take advantage of those offerings, remain informed and pass necessary information along to your team.
Toolbox Talks
Toolbox talks give your team a chance to ask questions and provide meaningful insight about a certain topic. At the same time, they allow leadership to address concerns and cover important safety updates before an upcoming project. Implementing regular staff meetings can greatly benefit your team and the construction industry. For those looking to create a topic outline for the year, download our 2023 OSHA Safety Calendar.
