The impact of employee litigation is different for small businesses compared to their larger counterparts.

Let's limit that risk together. Here are three great places to start:
🤝 Workplace conduct
💵 Compensation
🌎‍ Equal opportunity employment
When designing your company policies, make compliance your top priority. If policies align with legal guidelines and use clear, straightforward language, you can focus on consistently implementing them.

Is your industry considered "high risk?"
A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a framework employers can use to identify the hazards associated with different positions, and implement plans to reduce the impact of those hazards.
OSHA defines six categories of workplace hazards, many of which can be found in multiple high-risk industries.
🦺 Safety hazards
🦺 Physical hazards
🦺 Biological hazards
🦺 Chemical hazards
🦺 Work organization hazards
🦺 Ergonomic hazards
JHAs empower employers to be proactive in their safety planning before their employees even have the opportunity to get into a workplace accident. BBSI’s Risk Consultants can walk you through conducting a JHA, helping you mitigate hazards before they occur.
