How
to Develop and Implement an
Effective Health and Safety Program
by Larry Westfall
Major elements of an effective occupational safety and health program include:
Management Leadership/Commitment
·Develop a policy clearly stating responsibilities for the program and the priority of safety and health in relation to other organizational values. Explain how this is communicated to employees.
·Set goals for the safety and health program and develop measures to ensure that the goals of the program are met. Explain how this is communicated to employees.
·Describe how top management is visibly involved in the safety and health program.
·Assign responsibilities for all aspects of the program so that managers, supervisors and employees know what performance is expected of them.
·Ensure that responsible parties have the authority and resources to meet expectations.
·Describe the system used for holding line managers and supervisors accountable for safety and health and how that system is documented.
·Indicate how employees are held accountable for safe and healthful actions.
·Describe how you perform the evaluation. For example, who evaluates the program, at what time of the year, what are the deficiencies, what are the recommended improvements, how is the evaluation report distributed, and how people are held accountable to ensure the recommendations from the evaluation are accomplished?
