Integrating Occupational Health and Safety into your business plan requires commitment to injury prevention throughout your organization. Industrial Safety Integration can help to organize your resources such that your health and safety program contributes positively to your companies profit margins.

Designing safety into new systems is important, but it has to be remembered that the vast majority of systems and processes do not remain unaltered, with unchanged operating procedures, for their entire lifecycle. Modifications are almost inevitable and working practices can evolve or be deliberately revised in an attempt to improve throughput.

The risk assessment process can help to address situations where changes to systems or processes have introduced new hazards or new hazardous situations. Integrating the CIRSMA risk management system into your business plan helps to ensure that the risk associated with proposed changes are considered before the opportunity for injury is presented. This form of injury prevention can greatly reduce losses caused by workplace injuries.

Changes made to equipment, or the way it is operated, can have an effect on the original risk assessment. A significant number of industrial accidents result from uncontrolled changes. It is often a complex sequence of change that leads to an accident therefore controlling these changes provides an opportunity to minimize the potential of the occurrence of harm.

Machinery safety systems should be designed to interrupt processes in the event of a fault. The resulting loss of machine availability can be minimized by high-reliability safety systems. When the nuisance faults are kept at a minimum, the temptation to interfere with the safety systems can be avoided. Detailed consideration of all hazards and associated tasks may take a little more time, during the equipment design stage. This additional expense has generally been proven to be a good investment as the injury prevention benefits, by far, outweigh the cost of injuries.
