Manufacturing Podcast Interviews EHS Risk Management About the Value of Safety
NYS Manufacturing Now asked Jim Testo, president of EHS Risk Management, about the past, present, and future of manufacturing safety.
During the 20-minute podcast, Testo began by explaining how manufacturing safety1 has changed since he started his career. Back then, a petroleum spill on the Great Lakes prompted not just a costly cleanup but management resistance to implementing new procedures. Today, Testo says, leaders are taking a proactive rather than a reactive approach to safety. They're building a safety culture and looking at leading rather than lagging indicators.
Importantly, these leaders are also leveraging today's technology and putting safety-related information right at their employees' fingertips. By reducing incidents such as accidents, employers can better control the costs of workers' compensation insurance and, ultimately, their organization's profitability. In an era where good workers can be hard to find, a safe workplace is also a hallmark of an employer of choice.
Testo concluded the podcast with some predictions about the future of manufacturing safety and the role of emerging technologies.
