There’s a lot that goes into making a workplace safe. There is also a lot that goes into making employees comfortable and able to work at the peak of their abilities. It’s not a simple process – there are many variables that need to be considered.
Some are obvious, like requiring safety glasses or banning intoxication at work, but others are more subtle, like the use of cell phones on a production line. No matter what your environment or policy, it may be a surprise, but there is a correlation between workplace morale and workplace safety.
