Facilities management safety is the practice of ensuring that a facility’s infrastructure is safe for employees. This involves identifying and reducing hazards, preparing for emergencies, and educating staff on safe work practices.
How to improve facility safety
Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs): Create clear procedures for how to respond to emergencies and other safety concerns
Educate staff: Provide training on safe work practices and emergency response procedures
Use personal protective equipment (PPE): Provide the right equipment to protect employees from hazards
Conduct regular safety assessments: Inspect the facility and identify areas for improvement
Foster a culture of safety: Encourage employees to share feedback and concerns, and work together to address them
Prepare for emergencies: Have plans in place for how to respond to disasters and other emergencies
