Since 2003, a steadily increasing percentage of ORC Worldwide member companies have implemented policies or guidance covering cell phone use while driving on company business, according to three surveys conducted by ORC in 2003, 2007 and 2009. In 2003, 70 percent of 40 member companies surveyed had a policy or guidance regarding the use of cell phones; by 2009 the percentage had climbed to 93 percent.
Has your company found a way to keep all contract workers and subcontract workers as safe as your own employees? Nearly three years ago, when ORC Worldwide began looking at the challenge of protecting contract workers on behalf of a client, we discovered an astonishing absence of data on contract worker injuries and fatalities.
ORC Worldwide has developed a new interactive online resource where EHS research results and best practice information will be publicly available. The Center of Excellence, built on a wiki platform, is designed to foster collaboration among all EHS stakeholders: www.orcehs.org
The HSE Best Practices Portal is established by the ORC Asia Pacific HSE Service to showcase best practices in innovating, establishing, developing and implementing occupational health, safety and environment programs by companies and individuals around the world. It is hope that members could use it as a reference to guide them to refine their existing programs or even use it to develop similar programs for their cooperations.
