Key Components of Safety Recognition

Being proactive about safety recognition is critical to keeping worker's compensation costs down, staying compliant with OSHA requirements and maintaining employee morale. OSHA and university research studies have identified self-inspection programs as a crucial element for comprehensive and effective safety and health programs. This program will look at the benefits of implementing hazard recognition and self-inspection programs. We will explore the key issues that must be considered in implementing an effective self-inspection program including inspection frequency, accountability, documentation, employee involvement, and training. We will also examine real life hazards that are commonplace in many organizations.
