Afinida Risk Management

Regular drills and simulations are essential for effective emergency preparedness. Just like a fighter pilot, employees tend to fall back on their training in high-stress situations—they won't "rise to the occasion" without it. 🛩 From fire evacuations to shelter-in-place scenarios, it's crucial to practice the right response for each type of emergency. For example, while a fire might require an evacuation, an earthquake or active shooter incident could mean staying put. Preparing for these scenarios through regular, realistic simulations helps ensure everyone knows exactly what to do when it counts most. If you don't currently have processes in place to do this, we can help. ⬇️ https://afinidarisk.com/ #riskmanagement #safety

When it comes to workplace safety, actions speak louder than words. Employees are more likely to follow safety protocols when they see a strong organizational commitment to safety—not just in policies, but in practice. If you want your team to be committed to safety, they need to have practical ways to implement it on a daily basis and see leadership doing the same.

Have you ever seen a "close call" at work? Maybe a tool slipped, but no one got hurt. Or a spill almost caused a fall. These are what we call "near misses," and they're important to track because they're warning signs and a chance to fix a potential issue before it becomes a real problem. What exactly qualifies as a near miss? It's any unplanned event that could have caused injury, damage, or loss but (thankfully) didn't. A few examples: 🔺 A ladder shifts unexpectedly, but no one falls. 🔺 A piece of equipment malfunctions but doesn't result in damage. 🔺 A spill is cleaned up quickly before anyone slips. By reporting near misses, we can identify hidden risks and make our workplace safer for everyone. If you see something, don't brush it off—report it! #safetyculture #safetyatwork
