Technical Solutions: Safety, Health and Ergonomics

Key issues facing industry today are Competition, Quality, Productivity and Costs. Successful organizations realize that well-run Safety, Health, and Ergonomic programs are integral of a successful company. Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) as well as MTES can provide assistance in the way of assessments, inspections and point solutions.

Accident Prevention use to mean freedom from serious injuries and property losses. Today “Loss Control” not only covers injuries but occupational diseases and environmental areas along with fire and property damage. Loss Control has become such a costly and important area that most companies have Safety, Health and Ergonomics as part of supervisor’s job description. In some larger companies and corporations “Loss Control” has become a line item in their operating budgets.
