The Best Accidents are
the Ones that Never Happen
A workplace injury claim costs on average $40,000*. Yet, this is only the direct cost. A host of indirect costs, including production delays, wage interruptions, administrative fees, OSHA violations, endless hours of paperwork, and higher insurance premiums push the overall cost significantly higher. According to a Harvard study, every dollar spent on direct costs is accompanied by indirect costs of over $2.12.
That $40,000 claim actually costs more than $120,000!
Prevention Starts With:
The Know-How Employees Need
Everything from highly structured industry guidelines (ex. OSHA) to digital work instructions to employee tribal knowledge delivered as bite-sized and easily understandable. Harness expertise across the organization with subject matter experts sharing “How To’s” in short posts or even videos on how they complete their tasks.
When They Need It
Simply scan a QR code to access knowledge. Frontline workers can easily share their own knowledge, ask questions, and collaborate. The mobile friendly site is designed for distributed teams thereby facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams separated by location/time/shift/etc.
Build a Culture of Safety Awareness
This strategic approach empowers employees to embrace a safety-oriented mindset, to become proactive in identifying hazards and preventing them as an integral part of their daily routines. By utilizing this approach, employees are better able to deal with emergencies and unexpected situations thus minimizing the chance of an accident occurring.
With Omega Notes, safety information can be delivered in context of a worker’s job, ensuring that employees receive the specific skills and knowledge needed to handle unique risks. To make safety top-of-mind at all times, the Omega Notes platform is designed to provide workers with up-to-date safety protocols as part of their workflow to ensure they are always aware of the latest guidelines and procedures. Create postable QR codes, visual aids, videos, and “How To”s to reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and equipment damage. Worker compliance is ensured by delivering online mandatory checklists, safety reminders, and verification steps. For example, scanning a QR code to get the step-by-step process for lockout/tagout on machinery.
Easily Standardize Procedures
Ensure employees follow standardized procedures consistently by providing digital step-by-step guidance with clear visuals and multimedia elements. Using Omega Notes, procedures can be updated in real-time and then immediately disseminated to reduce accidents from outdated procedures. Work instructions that provide employees with key quality checks to verify each step can be executed quickly or loop in subject matter experts with questions. With the knowledge-sharing consistency the Omega Notes platform offers, errors or deviations are less likely to occur and a higher-quality output and safer employees will be the result.
How your organization does business is unique. Your company knowledge is too. Everything from regulated industry standards to job specific protocols can be delivered in Omega Notes. This holistic approach prevents knowledge gaps and reduces the likelihood of an accident and it’s compounded expenditure.
Greater Safety – Less Time
By delivering safety information directly in the workflow, employees avoid time-consuming manual checks and cross referencing allowing them to focus on their tasks. This streamlining enhances productivity without compromising safety.
