Did you know that approximately 60% of temporary employees have criminal histories? According to the FBI, a violent murder occurs in the workplace every 19 minutes. Make sure the company you hire your temp services from do a complete background check before sending you an employee. You should make your future permanent employees sign a Background and Credit Check Consent Form before you hire them, and the follow through with a complete check to ensure the safety of your business. It may take time you don't think you have, but in the end it could save you a whole lot of grief if a “bad” employee slips through the cracks.

Running a Safe Business Has Many Benefits

Saturday, 20 June 2009 00:34 by admin
As an employer, you are responsible for the health and safety of your employees.  Over the past few decades many laws have been passed to ensure workers are protected from hazards in the workplace, an important one the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.  As the employer you must provide a workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing, or are likely to cause, death or serious physical harm to your employees regardless of the size of your business.  Providing workers with a safe workplace is central to their ability to enjoy health, security and the opportunity to achieve the American dream.  Addressing safety and health issues in the workplace also saves the employer money and adds value to the businesses.  Recent estimates place the business costs associated with occupational injuries at close to $170 billion-expenditures that come straight out of company profits.   When workers stay whole and healthy, there are many direct cost savings like lower workers' compensation insurance costs and reduced medical expenditures.  There are also indirect cost savings like increased productivity, increased morale and better labor/management relations.
