— Here’s why…
As a former staffing owner who has done his fair share of staffing “ASAP” positions, I understand the pressure that staffing managers have in matching the skill sets of the right applicant to the job, and getting the applicant to the job site site in a timely manner. Sometimes though, the Staffing Manager may assume that since the applicant has the necessary skills to do the job, they understand the safety elements of the specific job that the client wants done. Getting an applicant to understand the safest way of performing a job is essential to keeping your Work Comp rates low.
A written job description is a critical part of communicating safety policies of the job from the Staffing Manager to the applicant/temporary employee. Understandably, sometimes there is only time to describe the job site and the very basic responsibilities of the job to he applicant. Though a written job description (with a description of the site) is always the best way to both get peak performance from the applicant and minimize injuries that may cause your Comp rate to increase.
