We have all seen the signs about safety and the importance and consequences of safety now I want to share some hard facts about safety. 

It is not just about the dollar cost of injuries that can be prevented, consider if you will, the hidden costs. The jobs you will not get because your customer or client perceives your firm is not safety conscious or appears sloppy and that may be the furthest thing from the truth.

There are an infinite number of reasons why most construction companies do not generate a minimum 20% net profit and a six figure after tax income for the owners.

What Gets Measured Gets Managed!

I talk endlessly during in person presentations to gatherings of contractors and other business owners about developing and monitoring their construction company's strategy, expansion isoquants, business plans.

And we go over and over how the foundation of a successful construction company is good solid financial reports. Contractors make decisions based upon the reports they are given. When good stuff goes into your QuickBooks or Xero Accounting Online good reports come out that you can rely upon to make intelligent decisions which can lead to nice profit margins.

Most of our outsourced construction clients are doing well in the area of cash flow and profit and we are continually and gently guiding them to make plans for their future by focusing on long term investment strategy, for example, owning the location where their office and shop is located and then working with qualified financial planners to develop an exit strategy when they want to sell their company and do other things with their lives.

Yet, one are that is hard to justify is putting time, money and energy into safety because it is seen as the dreaded "O" word..."Overhead". Safety at some construction companies is neglected because there are too many other demands on time, money and resources.

Look deep into any construction company's QuickBooks and or Xero Accounting Online financial reports and dig inside the actual transactions and based on how much or how little they invest in gloves, google, masks and related safety equipment then look at the bottom line profit....safety is one of those funny little intangibles that we all have a hard time understanding why it has such an effect, and yet it just does.

I leave you with one thought here - How much in hard dollar profit does your construction crew generate annually? Just from a hard-nosed business perspective safety does not cost, it pays, and it pays big dividends!
