How Strategic HRM would solve this accidents in case of employees work??

EARLY WORK IDENTIFICATION WILL INCREASE SAFETY : Early work identification like What is the overall condition ? Is the environment clean and

well lit? Are spills and leaks evident? Take note of repair tags or caution tape that may be found. How long has this condition existed? Be sure to visit your control centres and gather the data that may be present and document dates. Have all the deviations from your safety expectation been captured as identified work? What priority has been assigned to this type of work?

PROPER JOB PLANNING WILL INCREASE SAFETY : Ask your planning

group to show you the priority work you have identified. Ask your planning group to show you the job plan on how this work will be accomplished. The first step in a good job plan starts with a clear, concise description of the work to be accomplished. A job plan will identify all hazards associated with completing the desired task. Lockout/Tag-out procedures will be included in the job plan. Proper PPE required to perform the work will be identified. Special tools and equipment will be noted. Multicraft coordination will be communicated. The correct parts and materials will be verified and staged prior to the start of work. The correct crew size and number of hours to complete the job safely are also a requirement of a proper job plan. WORK SCHEDULING WILL INCREASE SAFETY: The most important step in the scheduling process is to adopt the discipline to only schedule planned work. In review of the job planning process listed above, why would any organization trying to create a safe work environment allow work to be scheduled and assigned without a proper job plan? Most organizations have become experts in emergency, reactive and just in time maintenance. Failure to schedule properly planned jobs that identify the correct tools and equipment, coordinate multi-craft work and insure proper equipment isolation that covers all work groups can and will lead to accidents and injury.

Accidents mostly happening in workplace

Employers must put in place effective systems that provide good awareness of the danger, solutions for problem areas and adequate maintenance / management of the workplace.

Staff should be made aware of any dangers with proper communication from management and where necessary training. Staff should be encouraged to report dangers and allow the employer scope to maintain a safe environment.

A good management system will help you to identify problem areas, decide what to do, act on decisions made and check that the steps taken have been effective.

Create a safety culture from the top down. Safety should be discussed at the very beginning of employment from recruitment to job descriptions to background checks and reference checks. Start talking safety early and always in your workplace.

Be sure your employees know they are partners with the organization in the safety effort.Safety is NOT just for the employer to do.It must be a team effort with cooperation ofthe employees and employer to be successful Create involved safety programs to involve employees in that effort. Create safety committees that are employee based. Make safety training a priority in your organization and talk about it (even if briefly) in all meetings. Investigate all accidents and near misses in your determine their cause and to avoid future accidents. organization to

Conduct self audits.Have employee teams do audits on different areas of the workplace to review for hazardous conditions Recognize and reward the safety successes.

Conclusion

We must get back to the basics. We must make safety an every day, common occurrence. We must clearly define safety as a standard step in our daily Work Management process. We must avoid the temptation of making safety a special event and instead safety must become the way we work and our way of life.
