SAFETY HAS NO QUITTING TIME

The Ohio-Michigan Equipment Dealers Association and the Ohio Equipment Distributors Association are strong believers in workplace safety. Ensuring a safe work environment has the obvious benefits of helping to keep your workforce happy and productive. Having an unsafe environment, however, can be much more costly than the temporary loss of productivity. There are workers' compensation premium considerations, a potential for OSHA violations which could result in heavy fines, and even lawsuits. While OMEDA and OEDA do provide support in responding to these bad situations, the best business practices include doing everything possible to avoid these costly events. Here are some resources that may help you avoid costly injuries.
