Workplace Safety

Each day, an average of 9,000 U.S.workers sustain disabling injuries on the job. Sixteen workers die from a work-related injury while 137 workers die from work-related diseases.¹ As occupational injuries arising from unsafe workplaces continue to negatively impact businesses in the form of increased costs, decreased productivity and reduced service capacity, more and more firms are realizing that reducing workplace injuries can deliver an important competitive advantage.

The path toward zero-injuries is influenced by key factors in safety culture that include employee participation, individual competency, managerial involvement and collaborative buy-in. Through a combination of conditions-based and behavior-based process monitoring, we help businesses improve safety performance, increase profitability, and most importantly, enable them to send their workers home safely each day.

Our Clients' Goals
  • Significantly Decrease Injuries and Improve Business Performance
    The hidden, or indirect costs of an injury or incident are conservatively estimated to total 2-5 times the actual cost of the incident, potentially resulting in a detrimental impact to the company bottom-line that can multiply rapidly depending on the number of incidents.


  • Obtain a Meaningful Appraisal of your Current Safety Program
    It is crucial to gain a better understanding of how present safety culture can affect efforts to improve safety performance. A formal safety program that documents safety inspections and actively utilizes this information to benchmark project as well as contractor and subcontractor performance is evidence of a proactive safety culture that is an important step towards minimizing OCIP losses.


  • Avoid Unwanted Expenses
    By minimizing or eliminating the likelihood of OSHA or other regulatory fines, as well as civil lawsuits, companies can avoid unwanted expenses and the associated negative publicity.


  • Accurately Assess and Evaluate Sub-contractors
    Continuously monitoring sub-contractor performance is key to pinpointing areas of improvement, identifying troubled sub-contractors and preventing worker injuries.


  • Increase Stakeholder Recognition as a Company that is Committed to Safety
    A proactive safety program helps companies to strengthen their business reputation with stakeholders because they have established a pledge to worker safety and protection. Our clients use their safety program to more effectively differentiate themselves from peers in terms of culture, action and leadership.
SafetyNet Workplace Results:
  • Identify Gaps between Current and Desired Safety Programs to Target Areas for Improvement
    By reviewing and benchmarking your current safety program, behavioral practices and actual performance against industry best practices, we help you to develop and sustain a continuous improvement process.


  • Documented Evidence of a Proactive Safety Program
    Scheduled and consistent reports ranging from Project Summary, Contractor Analysis to Benchmarking reports help you present and share information in a concise, condensed format, ensuring that all parties are aware of open issues and trouble areas while there is still time to take preventative action. Documentation of completed safety inspections and associated reports also provide evidence that you are in compliance with OSHA and other regulatory guidelines.


  • Transform Data into Real-time Business Intelligence
    Banish the paperwork quagmire and capture real-time observations as issues occur. Historical data that previously served no purpose beyond the individual safety meeting is now a resource for identifying trends that can provide leading risk indicators across the project or your entire company.


  • Quickly Identify Negative Trends before Incidents or Accidents Occur
    Capture real-time observations as issues occur. Historical data that previously served no purpose beyond the individual safety meeting is now a resource for identifying trends that can provide leading risk indicators across the project or your entire company.


  • Increase Accountability
    Observations can be linked to people, companies, work areas or projects, allowing leadership to track participation, competency and consistency. Using advanced analytics and automatic report distribution, SafetyNet allows management to have up-to-the-minute status and results without the administrative costs or time delays. Documentation of completed safety inspections and associated reports also provide evidence that you are in compliance with OSHA and other regulatory guidelines.


  • Benchmark Your Contractors' and Subcontractors' Performance
    By comparing your current safety performance against other contractors and the rest of the industry in 19 specific safety areas, you can determine areaswhere training is needed and continuously improve business processes. You can also benchmark your subcontractor's performance across different projects and against other subcontractors and use the findings to create an effective model for predicting and preventing claims.
