How Unenforced Visitor Policies and Compliance Leads to Problems

Contractor compliance, documentation and on-site management are not top of mind for many manufacturing professionals. Oftentimes, management teams don’t consider contractors, vendors or drivers as “visitors.” While everyone knows how important safety and policies are, the specific tasks surrounding visitor management can be monotonous. Since visitor policies are often covered by corporate policy or certification processes, facilities typically do things the way they always have, rather than reevaluate their operation. If nothing has ever happened that draws scrutiny to the process, they are rarely thought about. But, when the safety of others is at risk, no amount of money can replace the regret of not having done things differently. For example, each workplace injury costs an average of $44k, plus an additional +$15k in fines, and doesn’t include legal proceedings.

A Harvard Business Review study found that the more complex and detailed rules are the most likely to be broken. However, since regulatory and safety compliance can never be optional or even enforced inadequately, your staff and visitors must consistently execute properly…regardless of how challenging/complicated/annoying the procedures may be.

Are you creating a good first impression on job applicants at your manufacturing facility?

You spend a lot of time, money, and resources recruiting new employees. If they see a billboard advertising you’re hiring, they may not catch the employment agency or website they should contact. Instead, they’ll stop by your plant hoping to apply on the spot. When they walk into your lobby, what will their first experience of your company be? According to the National Association of Manufacturers, “77% of manufacturers say they will have ongoing difficulties in attracting and retaining workers in 2021 and beyond.” Although the labor shortage in manufacturing can be attributed to many different factors like the pandemic and skill gaps, now more than ever, it’s crucial to position your company to be attractive to potential candidates while retaining the employees you currently have.
