As an employer, you hold your workers' health in your hands. OSHA requires you to cover PPE equipment for every work hazard your employees face, but financial coverage isn't enough. You must perform hazard assessments, identify the correct PPE for your work environment, and perform frequent reviews on safety equipment efficacy. That's no easy task, particularly when prescriptions muddy the waters. That's where Bridge Vision steps in. With us, five minutes is all that lies between you and your PPE obligations. We're a service specialist who approaches your staff's prescription safety glasses from all angles.
1. Connecting Staff with PPE Suppliers
Bridge Vision helps you to find the right PPE for your budget. Our paperwork-free online process connects you with a massive network of retailers. There's a PPE provider to serve your staff wherever there's a Walmart. We balance range, variety, and budget so that you can fit your needs more precisely. We work with most Walmart Vision Centers, so your staff can fill their needs in just one visit. They can have their eye exams done on the same day they receive their glasses. Now that's convenience.
2. Dealing with Red Tape
Your prescription safety glasses program must comply with virtually infinite regulations and complexities. You must get to know complicated OSHA requirements and climb beneath the skin of your workplace hazards, so you shouldn't need to cope with extra red tape. That's why Bridge takes the paperwork out of the purchasing experience. Orders are fulfilled through digital payment cards that your staff can print out if necessary. From there, it's up to your staff and their local Walmart Vision Center. Employees simply cover their prescription safety glasses via their phones , so you can avoid a morass of paperwork. The entire process is fulfilled online, so your accounts payable department can focus on more important tasks.
3. The Five-Minute Ordering Process
It takes days to weeks to outfit every member of your staff with safety glasses. It requires a firm strategy, holistic HR team, and careful strategizing, so you can expect to pay a small fortune on your program alone. Add lost work hours and you have enough expenses to sink your expense account. Bridge removes 99% of those costs. Our process is fully digitized and broken into a few key steps:
We'll email your staff a smartphone-based online payment card and a list of instructions.
Your employees will go to a participating Walmart Vision Center of their choice to find their prescription safety glasses and process their payment.
The transaction and paperwork are entirely digital, so there are no deductions to worry about.
If the center in question offers eye exams, your staff can fill their script for their prescription safety glasses seven to 10 days later.
Employees will choose their own frames and safety lens options based on your hazard assessment. This way, they remain fully compliant without requiring any hand-holding.
Walmart's skilled staff will guide your employees through their choices, so your own management team doesn't have to acquire those skills.
If your prescription safety glasses break, they're under guarantee, so your employees can visit their nearest Walmart for repairs. Take a look at Walmart's generous 12-month guarantee to find out more.
4. Balancing the Price
The average employer spends about $2, 500 a year on health and safety for just one staff member, but costs only skyrocket when you ignore this important responsibility. Injury losses amount to billions of dollars in direct costs alone each year. Spending less on PPE only raises your outlay, so indifference is no solution. Even so, you need to arrive at a reasonable PPE expenditure, so we gather all of our products and services into an affordable package. Businesses using the Bridge Safety program save around 30% on safety glasses alone. We understand that there is no single perfect solution, so we also provide flexible budget options. Through us, you can spend anywhere from $39 to $200 on glasses, so if you're looking for a balance between affordability and quality, this is where you'll find it. Add the money you save on executing your strategy, and you have one of the most economical PPE programs in the industry. It comes without payroll staffing costs, salaried work, or accounting expenditure. Simply complete your hazard assessment, then count on us to help you to reduce preventable eye injuries.
5. Data Provision
Your PPE program is only as reliable as your employees' compliance. With one wrong step, the entire system can come crashing down, and the risk of errors carries more than a mere dollar value. It can cost your staff their health and vision, so our process uses a series of checks and balances to fill in compliance gaps. By connecting your employees directly with your service provider and retailer, we remove the risk of communication errors. The system also restricts your staff from buying incorrect prescription safety glasses, so you don't have to deal with a borage of questions. All you need to do is calculate your budget, choose your preferred brand, and let Walmart do the rest.
With product limitations and restrictions on hand, your staff can choose equipment that fits your requirements. That way, you're equipped to manage your eyewear program safely and responsibly, with no more gaps threatening your staff's vision. According to the CDC, as many as 20% of eye injuries lead to temporary or permanent vision loss, yet 90% of those injuries are completely preventable. The importance of eye protection doesn't make PPE programs any easier or cheaper to manage, so Bridge Vision has crafted a remarkably simple toolset for employers. Now you can finally deliver a hands-free service that's free of red tape and unnecessary costs. There's a reason we're the proud service provider for several international brand giants: We offer the easiest, most cost-effective safety glasses program on the market with the convenience of Walmart
