JLG releases whitepaper on safety-focused work culture

JLG Industries Inc.,  manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has released its new whitepaper 10 Tips for Creating a Safety-Focused Work Culture that can help contractors implement strategies and actions to create a safety-first culture on their job sites.

Topics addressed in the paper include storm safety, trip hazards, lone workers, hydration, hearing protection, ergonomics, mental health, heat, PPE and wearables.

Despite being around since the Chernobyl disaster in the ’80s, creating a “culture of safety” has become a buzz phrase with safety professionals and modern business leaders lately, especially as construction work ramps up during the summer months. Adopting a safety culture can be achieved within any organization, of any size, but it cannot be created or completed overnight. It is a journey of continuous improvement that enhances productivity.

In this whitepaper, JLG offers valuable insights and best practices that companies looking to adopt a safety culture on job sites can use immediately.
