How to reduce the risk of serious injury

Reduce the Risk of Serious Workplace Injuries: Expert Insights from Ejendals CEO.

Helping our customers improving health and safety

Most industrial companies have been working hard in the last decade to improve the workplace safety for their employees. This is not only a legal requirement, but also a well working tool to improve the leadership and the performance of an organization.
Leader’s don´t want injuries to happen to their employees, certainly not the serious injuries that will change the life for an individual and his/her family forever. Luckily, a systematic approach to improving safety will both reduce the risk for serious injuries to happen but also lead to better working processes in the company.
We at Ejendals are very pleased to be part of this effort, with the vision to protect the hands and feet of our customers.

More accidents will happen if you do not work systematically to avoid them

If your workplace doesn’t work with continuous risk assessment, safety routines and sufficient personal protective equipment, accidents will happen. It´s really just math.

The “accident triangle” or “safety pyramid”, is a theory that there is a direct relationship between serious accidents, minor accidents and near misses.
Herbert Heinrich, a pioneer in workplace health and safety, first proposed the relationship in 1931 by determining that if minor accidents are reduced then there will be a corresponding fall in the number of serious accidents. Heinrich proposed a relationship of one major injury accident to 30 minor injury accidents, to 300 no-injury accidents. The relationship is often shown pictorially in the form of a triangle or pyramid.

Why Ejendals safety products minimize workplace accidents

Using TEGERA Safety gloves and JALAS Safety shoes eliminates many of the so-called At-Risk Behaviors. As I previously mentioned, more than half of the total workplace injuries involve injuries to hands, wrists, fingers, feet, ankles and toes. So, as you understand, it is not difficult to decimate the number of accidents in your workplace simply by using quality safety gloves and safety footwear.
