Creating a Culture of Safety: Developing a Safety Policy

Foremost, management must express its concern for the health, safety and well-being of employees. In both large companies and small businesses, top management must make safety a priority by effectively expressing its commitment to safety to workers.

Creating a culture of safety begins with developing a written safety policy. Express your commitment to safety in a clear, simple safety policy to all employees. The safety policy should be conspicuously posted, delivered to individual workers, and become part of employee orientation training.
