Guide to Safety Program Basics

A safe workplace starts with management, who must support a culture of safety and provide the resources necessary for injury prevention. The responsibilities filter down through all levels of an organization, and every employee has to take ownership in their workplace. Safety cannot stand alone or remain separate from the main objectives of the organization — it must become an integral part of day-to-day operations. When injury prevention is taken into consideration as part of the “bottom line,” everyone wins.
