Prevention in factories is vital for a number of reasons:
- Worker safety: Workplace accidents can cause serious injury or even death to workers. By putting preventive measures in place, we can reduce the risk of accidents and improve worker safety.
- Workers’ health: Some industrial activities can have harmful consequences for workers’ health, particularly in terms of air, soil and water pollution. By putting preventive measures in place, we can limit these risks and help to protect workers’ health.
- Environmental protection: Industrial activities can have harmful consequences for the environment, particularly in terms of pollution. By taking preventive measures, we can reduce the risk of pollution and help to protect the environment.
- Reducing costs: Workplace accidents, occupational illnesses and pollution can generate high costs for companies, particularly in terms of medical expenses, compensation and lost production. By implementing preventive measures, these costs can be reduced, thereby improving the profitability of companies.
In conclusion, prevention in factories is vital because it ensures the health and safety of workers, protects the environment and reduces costs for companies. It is therefore essential for the sustainable and responsible development of the industry.
Solutions
Megabyte offers consultancy services to trace and quantify the various procedures (BPM) within factories in terms of prevention and to propose digital and mobile solutions for this purpose. The procedures cover the entry of workers with all their qualifications (internal and external training) and certificates (including medical certificates). They also cover the introduction of new equipment into plants and the prevention of incidents.
In addition, all factories and buildings also require rounds to check preventive equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire alarms, the condition of dustbins and stocks, etc.
Finally, manufacturers also use chemicals which must be rigorously monitored on a regulatory basis. Each chemical product has a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which every plant or organisation must have and manage for both incoming and outgoing chemicals (if necessary.) These data sheets must be kept up to date and retained.
On the basis of the hazard profile, it is necessary to generate labels corresponding to the chemical products (hazard pictograms, etc.) to be placed in appropriate places for the attention of users/handlers.
These Safety Data Sheets and labels or job cards can be managed on our ComplyStation platform.
