Compliance and Regulatory
General definitions and requirements “Titles” are different for written plans (depending on State) Examples: CA – Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) WA – Accident Prevention Program (APP) Language must be understood Review annually Document As we discussed, the first step in building your safety program is to conduct a Needs Assessment (Taking Stock Checklist and others in the book) Set goals Chapter 3 (page 49), and lead the charge that employee safety and health is an intrinsic company value – that working safety is not just a “program” but a way of doing things. (page 50) Value like honesty… Make safety part of the performance appraisal process, practice actively caring steps, engage employees at all levels, and have leaders, managers and employees commit to being safe. Expectation that safety is a value (not a priority).
