Are two workers a Good Solution for Worker Safety?
* It’s Expensive – this states the obvious, but two people is double the cost. On an annualized basis this is easily $60,000 + for the second person. When work tasks require two people complete, then there is the added benefit of two people on the job. But the 2 Worker solution is cost prohibitive just to meet Work Safety requirements.
* What if both Workers are Injured. The 2 Worker solution does not cover this safety issue at all. If there’s an accident, vehicle rollover, injuries, both workers are incapacitated etc., a Safety Device with emergency monitoring service is the only answer.
* Employees Can Drop their Guard. Even with safety training, education, process & procedure, mistakes still happen and people are injured on the job. SafeTCard is the most widely used Safety Device & Lone Worker solution in Australia. At less than 1% of the cost of a second worker, Safety Card can be widely distributed across an employee group. Including when the Buddy System is used, SafetCard can be deployed to ensure emergency monitored coverage.
