A customized Health
and Safety program reduces worker’s compensation insurance premiums and
corporate liability and increases worker morale and productivity. A strong
Health and Safety program is the keystone of Risk Management, working to reduce
worker’s compensation claims and ensure Cal OSHA compliance.
Health and Safety includes Cal OSHA reporting and record keeping, and
other required Risk Management activities.
Cal OSHA compliance and Health and Safety Training are the key to Risk
Management and keeping worker’s compensation premiums as low as possible. Cal
OSHA Health and Safety and Risk Management require specific Health and Safety
elements that can be adapted to meet your individualized Health and Safety
needs.
