Amidst the pandemic, OSHA and the Centers for Disease Control issued updated guidelines to help businesses and organizations address safety issues. They recommended that employers adopt infection prevention and control strategies based on a thorough workplace hazard assessment and use appropriate combinations of engineering and administrative controls, safe work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent worker exposures. As a result, many major companies are increasing their expenditures to boost employee safety within their facilities. This includes purchasing items similar to the safety protection products available through OneMonroe EFI.
For example, Amazon has said that between 2019 and 2022, the company has invested $1 billion in safety initiatives and improvements unrelated to COVID-19. During this same period, the company reported that its reportable incident rate decreased by 23%, signaling that increased safety measures could pay off.
When Ford was anticipating restarting its European engine and vehicle production, it began by devising and implementing new social distancing and health and safety protocols, going so far as to manufacture its own face masks and providing employees with “personal-care kits” that include safety protection products such as sanitizer, gloves, and face masks. These kinds of kits are also ideal for a wide range of other companies and can be very cost-effective, especially if they are filled with products for safety protection.
