Elements of a Written Safety Policy

The safety policy should state that concern for the health, safety and well-being of employees is a continuing responsibility of all executive and supervisory personnel. It should further state that such concern will be demonstrated by eliminating hazards and providing all employees with proper training in safe work practices. Make clear that rules will be established and enforced to insure the maintenance of a healthful and safe workplace. It is imperative to follow through on all of the items outlined in the safety policy.
