A major first step in establishing a workplace safety and health program is getting all employees to commit to the principle of workplace safety. To this end, your company should create and distribute an official statement outlining your company’s stance on workplace safety. A written statement reinforces safety as a core part of the company’s mission, values, and culture and serves as a guide to the daily actions of all employees. Your policy statement should include both the company’s overall ethos regarding safety as well as concrete goals, leaving no question that safety is a priority for the organization.
