Safety Program Management: Modules 1 - 5

Solid workplace safety programs protect people from injury and property from damage. This video explains why business owners and top executives must commit to making safety a core value ranking alongside profitability, customer service, and cost control. Comments from those who have implemented, managed and benefitted from safety programs provide examples. In five modules, viewer learn how to make safety part of corporate culture; how to manage risk and maximize resources; the importance of hazard identification and control; methods of training and communication; and how to establish an emergency response plan, complete with accident management and investigation.

Considerable emphasis is given to involving employees in the development of the safety program, including encouraging feedback and following up with information on any actions resulting from the feedback. Managers get tips on establishing and working with safety committees and conducting classroom and hands-on training to help them build their safety toolbox. This training explains the four steps to accident investigation and documentation, and explains why having a medical management and return-to-work program is vital.

Creating and maintaining an effective safety program requires the commitment of an organizations' leadership team, from the owner/CEO through line supervisors. Every business needs to protect their biggest investment- their employees. Implementing the strategies depicted in this video will make Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspections smoother, and will create a stronger team, where everyone is responsible for safety.
