Safety professionals are partners in the company’s corporate leadership so when a company expands beyond their borders, it is these professionals you can trust.

Their expertise and experience are what encourages companies to grow, both locally and internationally. Without safety professionals, the risks of injuries rise, the general productivity of a company decreases, and the diversity in experience and knowledge disappears.

Local, smaller businesses tend strive to employ laborers that are in closer proximity to the business, however when expanding internationally, workers with varying backgrounds in language, culture, and homeland are integrated into the staffing selections. There is value in the advancement that is made with incorporating diversity and in these situations, it is the safety professionals that oversee the development of the employees.

Overall benefit of international expansion:

The opportunity to expand a business drastically increases when companies establish new residences globally. Safety professionals play a significant role in the founding and cultivating of industries both domestic and foreign.

It is a growing trend that companies have operations in several countries, which brings a new collection of challenges. Balancing an atmosphere that is progressive while maintaining a rooted foundation in the companies’ procedures is at the forefront of building a business internationally.

What to expect from the experts:

When establishing new roots in a foreign country, these professionals create a safe, stable environment for a business to grow by leading the decisions about how the business is going to function.

According to Inshpo,  a properly functioning global framework for OHS safety professionals are positioned as:

“Facilitators of a shared understanding of the different roles for the OHS Professional and the OHS Practitioner;

Key advisors, strategist and leader in fully integrating the management of OHS risk into sustainable business practice;

Skilled implementer of OHS activities and an effective OHS supporter and communicator at the site.”

Four factors OHS applies when establishing international production sites:

OHS professional organizations believe in expanding their corporations with educated and ethical standards. Investing time and energy into sites are what safety professionals are experts at, and they use these four factors as an outline on how to properly execute their workforce environment.

Question
Organizations that trust safety professionals to begin a new project know that they will ask the right questions. They are trained to be observant toward their surroundings and ensure a physically safe work environment. As leaders, they make risk evaluations, safety strategy recommendations, and are proactive in preparing the site for production. In an international setting, professionals have keen alertness to the set-up so that the company will reflect the organic structure.

Compare
Contrastingly, safety professionals do not take major risks in organizations that could have the potential to be counterproductive or deadly. They understand the complexity of a productive work environment and know that the best way to create policies and procedures is to model them after what they have learned. They do not put others, themselves, or their company at risk of dangerous physical, ethical, or economic exposure.

Discipline
Safety professionals are team players and they value their role as team captain. These professionals respect authority and do not compromise their decisions based on the relationships to others. In a situation where an employee violates policy, it is the professionals that you can trust to properly discipline the offender.

Educate
Safety professionals curate an atmosphere of safety because they apply their extensive experiences with situational safety and their ongoing education about the topic. You can trust that these professionals will not make irrational decisions but instead investigate the issue and find a well-balanced, effective solution. When placed in an international setting, professionals consider the linguistic and cultural differences. By doing this, the productivity can continue to grow because the site is a dynamic environment for the employees to thrive.

 

The benefits of the roles adopted by safety professionals ensure the quality, accuracy, and overall long-term promotion of safety standards and procedures for the corporation.
