Safety and health programs foster a proactive approach to “finding and fixing” workplace hazards before they can cause injury or illness. Rather than reacting to an incident, management and workers collaborate to identify and solve issues before they occur. OSHA recommends the following steps to getting started: 1. set safety & health as a top priority, 2. lead by example, 3, implement a reporting system, 4, provide training, 5. Conduct inspections, 6. collect hazard control ideas, 7. Implement hazard inspections, 8. address emergencies, 9. seek input on workplace changes, 10. make improvements
The municipal workplace is constantly changing. We will periodically post informative documents with current best practices on a variety of topics. These sample guidelines, forms and policies can be modified for your municipality to assist with your prevention efforts. To assist you in your search, please choose the applicable coverage line.
