5 Essential Elements of Workplace Health and Safety – How to Reevaluate and Improve Your EHS Processes
The biggest fear when it comes to workplace health and safety is that something will get missed…and then that “something” becomes a serious compliance issue, fine, or worse: an accident. If this is your situation – if you find yourself responsible or partly responsible for the health and safety of your people but are worried there is some key element you are missing – we have you covered.
To start, you need to ensure that your system – how you, your company, and employees go about their health and safety processes – covers five essential elements.
Join Jill James, Chief Safety Officer at HSI, former OSHA inspector, and 28-year veteran in the health and safety space as she discusses the following elements and how all safety champions – whether you’re new to the game, already a seasoned EHS leader, or you wear many hats – can reevaluate and improve your processes.
- Administrative must-haves: Why you need a paper trail, and what are the specific workplace documentation needs.
- Policies: Put the right P&Ps in place, and know which laws apply to you.
- Training: Identify specific training for individual job roles, and requirements for compliance.
- Tracking risk: Different types of risk-tracking and who should be involved.
- Reinforcing behaviors: How to introduce enforcement and reinforcement of your new processes.
By understanding these five essential elements, you can create a comprehensive safety program and a framework to work with your company’s safety professionals.
