A lot of people have different perception on health and safety. When organization decided to compromise on safety, you are doing either of these; Impacting the notion of safety positively or negatively. An organization that compromises health and safety definitely will teach individual about negative notions concerning safety; these notions are then carried along into people’s daily activities which at the end affects the society as a whole.
3. Deviation of industry’s Policy
Different industries have policies that guide through how the health and safety of people, environment etc should be managed. A deviation in standard set up by industry shows an organization is not working in line and may not be considered as certified under the industry and thereby unsafe to work in.
4. Destructive impact on the community
Organizations are not endued with catering for their employees alone, their client who are member of the society are also a part of the company that requires a non compromised service.
As a community, the destructive effect is huge and maybe costly when much number of people have wrong notion on health and safety. This means there is a huge deviation from what is meant to be safe for the community to what is destructive and unsafe for them.
5. Cost ineffectiveness
When compromising in health and safety, one need to be aware that these are not decision that is cost effective. A situation that required a standard setting may never get solved by using a compromises guideline. Using a compromised guideline and method may not only inflict pain on the employees but also generate more reason to spend outside the scope of the company.
There are certain things that we cant afford to compromise on; workplace safety is one of such.
