Facilities Management reduces injuries 51% in 2008
Facilities Management initiated a comprehensive safety program in 2004 and since then injuries have dropped 51%. Much of this success can be credited to a creative and caring workforce, well-trained in safety procedures. Couple that attitude with a strong commitment from management, and you have a formula for improved safety awareness and practices.
FM's Safety Program
