Workshop – Taking Hand Protection Deeper

Scott Russell, President – Cestusline

 

The safety industry has undergone some impressive changes. Organisations are unsatisfied with where minimum compliance has led them. This plateau of improvement requires safety professionals to push beyond minimums to look for new solutions to age old problems.
Protecting worksite employees from avoidable injuries has become increasingly important as incident reporting becomes more publicly transparent and top management continues to drive towards target zero. HSE managers weigh the price of quality PPE with the potential costs of workers comp claims as they attempt to satisfy increasingly aggressive accounting constraints. As safety managers work to orchestrate high participation safety programs, they are often overwhelmed by both the explosion of new safety products on the market today and the lack of resources to plan, implement, and sustain changes that matter.
