The first step in an effective safety management program is to make a commitment to the program. The success of the program depends entirely on management's commitment and attitude toward the prevention of accidents.
Management needs to ensure every employee takes safety seriously.
In addition to the basic elements of a safety program, loss reduction goals need to be set based on past loss experience and desired loss experience. Communicate that commitment through a written Management Safety Policy . The policy should be specific to the company, developed and reviewed with employees, and be included in the personnel policies and procedures. Another important part of any safety management program is Claim Management . Even with the best safety program, accidents and injuries still occur.
