Regardless of the size of an organization or company, safety in the workplace is important as nobody wants to work at a place that is deemed unsafe.
And without the proper workplace safety measures in place, this will put an organization or company, its employees, customers, brand reputation and revenues in danger.
When a company or organization established a safety culture in the workplace, it can lead to more satisfied and productive workers.
A productive employee will produce higher quality or work and will return to work more quickly after an injury or illness as they are confident in the safety of their working environment.
A healthy and safe workplace is able to retain its employee by keeping them happy and free from stress and establish a positive communication and relationship with them.
Studies has also shown that a safe workplace plays a vital role in the development of a positive work environment that fosters employee satisfaction.
When an organization prioritise safety in its establishment, it will then gain confidence among members of the public other than their employees.
This will then directly affect the reputation of the organizations or company and therefore improves their public relations with the public.

By creating an image of prioritizing safety for its employees, this can also imply that the organization is also prioritizing the wellbeing and welfare of the employees.
Apart from that, by securing the safety of the workplace, it can also cushion the financial impact of an organization.
Financial impacts such as corporate financial loss and property damage can be avoided if precautionary measures are taken to create a safe working environment.
It is also in the best interest for both employee and employer to put safety first, minimize risk to life and therefore reduce financial loss and property damage.
