A safe workplace makes it easier for employers to meet production schedules and provide good customer service.

Safety works for employees because it keeps them on the job.  A good safety plan keeps worker out of harm's way so that that can remain as productive members of the workforce and maintain a good quality of work.  Employees in safe work places experiences higher morale and greater productivity.
