Episode 208: Workplace Safety - Business Tip of the Month with Justin Gormley of National Pool Partners

Episode Summary:  In this edition of Business Tip of the Month, we’re joined by NPP’s Regional Director Of Operations for Texas Justin Gormley.  Listen in as Justin discusses why it’s so important for every leader within an organization to ensure workplace safety and why this subject is often taken for granted despite how fundamental it is to any business. He speaks on identifying workplace safety hazards, creating safety policies, and training your team to adhere to these safety standards.  Because a lack of strong safety standards can cost your company, both directly and indirectly, it’s vital for leaders to promote a culture of safety, and to ensure that those standards and best practices are followed without compromises. Ultimately, Justin believes that ensuring workplace safety comes down to embracing personal responsibility, no matter one’s position in the company.  Topics Discussed:  00:54 - Defining safety in the workplace  03:11 - How to start improving workplace safety today  05:45 - How much ignoring safety can cost your company  08:07 - Making safety a priority early on, and often  11:23 - Maintaining a good safety culture    Connect with Guest:  Website
