Safety professionals are professionals employed in industrial, manufacturing, or warehousing settings to assess workplace environments for potential risks and develop strategies to enhance facility safety. A minimum of an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in the relevant field is typically required for this role, although some employers may have different qualifications.

Preventing workplace accidents requires identifying potential hazards and taking necessary measures to mitigate or eliminate them. The majority of workplace accidents that occur annually can be prevented with proper resources. Employers can reduce the rate of accidents by using visual tools like signs, labels, and floor markings to indicate hazardous conditions, promoting safety awareness through comprehensive training and re-training opportunities, adhering to relevant OSHA regulations and consensus standards to protect workers, regularly performing hazard analyses to detect new dangers, and providing and enforcing personal protective equipment (PPE) usage.

PPE is crucial as it serves as the last line of defense against hazards, ensuring adequate protection for employees in situations where risks cannot be entirely eliminated
