PHCC of Georgia Safety ROPES Program Submission Window Closes May 1st
April 24, 2023 | The PHCC of Georgia created its safety recognition program Safety ROPES in 2021 to Recognize Outstanding Proactive Efforts in Safety for its members. This year's submission window for recognition closes May 1st, 2023.
There are a number of reasons why a safety recognition program is important to business owners. Here are three reasons to consider:
First and foremost, we all understand how important it is for the members of our team, to go home at the end of the work day. And that they go home with the same number of fingers and toes they came to work with. Being recognized for our commitment to the value of safety needs to be celebrated with our team to say thank you and to help encourage them to continue to help us with our safety efforts.
The fact that our business is recognized for our proactive steps to strengthen the value of safety by our industry peers, should be shared with customers to inform them we value not only the safety of our team members, but their safety as well. It is as important to be safe for them and their property as much as it is for us.
By participating in the PHCC GA Safety ROPES recognition program we have the opportunity to evaluate our program and identify any areas we could improve on. Having safety as a value in our businesses in not a destination but a journey we are on every day. Every effort we make to provide safe and healthy places for our team to work is something we need to be evaluated and improved constantly. It is too hard to find good people to be on our team, not to make these efforts.
