What is the purpose of the Partnerships in Injury Reduction (PIR) program?

The Partnerships in Injury Reduction (PIR) program is primarily designed to reduce workplace injuries. It focuses on creating safer work environments by involving employers, workers, and safety organizations in a collaborative effort to identify hazards and implement effective safety measures. By prioritizing injury reduction, the program aims to minimize risks and enhance overall workplace safety, ultimately leading to fewer incidents that can harm employees.

Although enhancing employee engagement, increasing productivity, and improving workplace morale are also valuable outcomes that can result from effective safety programs, the core objective of the PIR program is specifically centered on reducing work site injuries. This focus ensures that the health and safety of employees are at the forefront, fostering a culture of safety and well-being in the workplace.
