Creating a safe workplace is more than checking boxes, it requires a proactive, organization-wide effort. Two often overlooked areas are ergonomics and workplace violence prevention, both of which are essential for OSHA compliance and employee wellbeing.
Poor ergonomics can lead to chronic injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or back pain, especially among administrative staff and clinicians. Assessing workstations and training staff on proper posture can significantly reduce risk.
Workplace violence, ranging from verbal abuse to physical assault, is alarmingly common in healthcare. Staff must be trained to recognize warning signs, de-escalate tense situations, and know when to seek help.
Building a culture of safety includes clear policies, incident reporting systems, and regular training. Engaging employees in safety discussions fosters shared responsibility and vigilance.
