What is Workplace Safety?

The policies, procedures, and physical conditions that protect employees from injury, illness, and hazards while performing their job duties.

Why it matters in hiring

Workplace Safety comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
