Safety programs are essential for any business- especially in the contractor industry. However, with limited resources and funds, this might pose a challenge for some small businesses. Therefore, there are some things to keep in mind when establishing a training program on a tight budget. In addition to fully understanding the demands of the position and relaying information properly to your employees, the right Lake Tahoe Workers’ Compensation Insurance is a must.

According to an article in The Workers’ Comp Gazette, the best way to implement low-cost safety training programs is through employee engagement.  Here are a few things you should do to engage your employees at a low cost:

1. Save money by skipping the generic safety videos- especially as they aren’t unique to your industry.
2. Use a digital camera to take photos of the right and wrong way to do things in each job position and showcase them on a PowerPoint Presentation.
3. Have supervisors conduct group training sessions.
4. Create posters to place throughout the workplace.
5. Create incentives for employees to uphold a safe working environment.
6. Devise a slogan that demonstrates the workplaces’ safety goals.
