Safety Program Implementation Services

The two major goals of developing and implementing safety programs and procedures are to comply with safety laws and regulations, and to provide a structured framework for a safe work environment. Keep in mind that safety requirements mandated by OSHA are minimum requirements and, in most cases, to provide a safe work environment you must go beyond the minimum requirements mandated by law.

It’s relatively easy to develop and write a safety program, the difficulty lies in implementing it. The approach should be to create procedures that once learned will change the mind-set of employees and the culture of the company, so that employees include safety in all aspects of their daily activities.

Changing the mind-set of employees and the culture of the company requires changing employee behaviors from top management to front-line workers.  One way to ensure this is to conduct an employee safety behavior assessment.

An employee safety behavior assessment, if conducted properly, will identify unsafe attitudes and behaviors that lead to high incident and injury rates, and breakdowns in safety programs.

Some issues that may be found to be causing unsafe attitudes and behaviors include lack of management and front line supervisor commitment, unclear procedures, inadequate training, insufficient or inadequate safety equipment and supplies, and lack of employee involvement, enforcement, disciplinary action, and incentives.
