Managers can assure that the field service workforce has the right tools and protection to ensure no accidents or injuries during the carrying out of their duties but a major challenge is also to ensure that employees follow the right protocols and regulations to assure their own safety. Field Workforce safety is less about enforcing the regulations and procedures on the workforce, and more about making sure that the field service workers understand the grave consequences of mishandling tools and machineries or even trying to optimise procedures on the job rather than a test-lab.

“Safety is the foundation of every business.”
