Safety Talks #2

For over 75 years, Lovell Safety Management Co., LLC (LSM) has assisted hundreds of New York State companies in controlling their workers’ compensation costs. And since its inception, LSM has firmly believed that accident prevention is the most effective tool for containing those expenses and producing bottom line results for clients.

That’s why LSM provides a full-time staff of experts dedicated to the delivery of comprehensive safety and health management services to clients. An effective safety and health program can reduce your lost time costs, increase your productivity and raise your employee moral.  The safety professionals at LSM provide you with consultation services that help you to design, plan, and implement successful programs that address your specific needs.

We at LSM believe that safety management must be based on the existing hazards, the behavior of employees and the organizational culture in which they function.  The key to an effective safety system is:

 

• Top management’s commitment and personal involvement
• A knowledge of the occupational injuries and illnesses at the workplace.
• Identification of relevant safety and health risk factors.
• Employee and management training.
• Line supervision’s involvement and responsibility
• Employee participation in the safety process.
• Frequent and regular inspection of the job sites, materials, and equipment.

 

With these as our goals, the LSM safety professionals provide services which include:

Safety And Health Evaluations: With the goal of injury prevention, the LSM safety professional will conduct evaluations of your premises, work sites and safety culture. We provide loss trend analysis that identifies those incidents that result in serious injuries and high-cost claims.  We will provide employers with detailed reports of potential at risk conditions with recommendations for correcting them.
