Safety By REQUEST

Regional

• Scheduled Service is Timely
• Special Requests are Handled Quickly
• Site Services are Done In Person*
• Programs are Designed for NY State Requirements**
• Established Local Connections (for suppliers, labs, etc., if need be)
• You are Supporting a Local Business

* In recent years, some national safety providers have promoted the idea of "long distance safety". They offer training teleconferences to employees they have never met, and "one size fits all" programs to work sites they have never physically surveyed. While this does considerably reduce their expenses, it does not (and cannot) adequately address the needs and unique exposures at a client's worksite.

** Did you know that there are safety concerns relevant to NY emplyers that do not apply to employers in other states? Two examples would be Code Rule 59/60 and Labor Laws 240/241. In addition, organizations like PESH and NYSIF are also unique to New York.

Economical

• Short Term Insurance Premium Costs
  Insurance carriers want to insure employers with fewer losses (so they make more profit). This being the case, they often offer credits to employers who implement effective safety programs.
• Long Term Insurance Premium Costs
  Worker's Comp insurance premiums are adjusted up or down based on an employers' loss history. The best way to obtain a favorable "experience modifier" is to reduce losses with an effective safety program.
• The Indirect Cost of Losses
  These are the costs involved with a WC loss that are not otherwise covered by insurance. These uninsured costs can range from 100% to 400% of direct costs, and can be best eliminated by an effective safety program that reduces losses.
• Reducing or Avoiding Regulatory Penalties
  OSHA penalties can be expensive! A non-serious violation can be up to $7,000, whereas a willful violation up to $70,000. The cost of implementing an effective safety program can be far less than the citations generated by one OSHA visit.
• Trying to Do It In-House
  Opting to let your Office or Maintenance Manager be your safety facilitator may seem like a cost saving move at first - but when the cost of their own training, downtime, materials, and audiovisual aids are factored in, the cost to "re-invent" the wheel is often more expensive than anticipated. In addition, in many such cases, compliance issues are overlooked.

Training

• Informative
• Interesting
• Interactive

To put it mildly, traditional safety training programs are not what you would call "exciting". That's why Safety by REQUEST safety training sessions are designed to be not only informative, but interesting and interactive as well. In addition to presenting all the required safety information, trivia questions and group challenges are utilized.

Having a Safety by REQUEST training session end in applause is not uncommon. When the employees appreciate the extra effort that went into a Safety by Request safety training session, they remember not only the session, but its training content as well.
