As the saying goes, knowledge is power. The more you know, the better off you’ll be. Obviously, this can apply to many things, but it’s particularly relevant when it comes to occupational health and safety. The more information a company collects about workplace safety, the better positioned it’ll be to make smart decisions about safety.

Time is at a premium in every company but perhaps never more so than when it comes to workplace health and safety. There are federal, state, and local regulations to adhere to, plus industry standards, financial liabilities, and insurance concerns to be aware of.

Although many workplace safety topics stay the same from year to year, there are usually some noticeable trends within individual years that stand out. In 2020, workplace safety was marked by COVID-19; however, there were plenty of other workplace safety topics that shared time on center stage.
