10 Program Organization Policy Goals Objectives Implementation Plan * Set policy, goals and objectives. *Communicate them. *Stick to them. *Review them. *Celebrate achievements

11 Policy Policies are principles adopted by management to chart a course of action. Policies express in general terms what management intends. Policies give reasons, why, and how much. Policies are broad statements to indicate the line of action to be followed by the organization in dealing with the specific program. Policy statements are narrow enough to give clear guidance of desired action.

12 Policy Policies are guides for action from management to provide specific direction to personnel.

13 Goals and Objectives “If you don’t know where you are going, chances are you will end up somewhere else” ------Yogi Berea

14 Goals and Objectives “Management must establish and communicate a clear goal for the safety and health program and objectives for meeting that goal, so that all members of the organization understand the results desired and the measures planned for achieving them.” OSHA Program Management Guidelines

15 Goals and Objectives Management must establish and communicate goals for the occupational health and safety program as well as results oriented objectives for meeting the goals.

16 Goals and Objectives There should be evidence of established goals for the safety program and objectives for meeting the goals. Goals and objectives should be effectively communicated so all members of the organization understand the desired results and the program for achieving them.

17 Goals and Objectives Desired results and the planned measurements to achieve them must be clearly understood by all members of the organization. Ensures that all in the organization understand the direction it is taking. Goals and implementing objectives make the health and safety policies more specific.

18 Where Goals Are Derived Mandates and directives. Mandates and directives. Safety audits-internal and external. Safety audits-internal and external. Trend analysis: Trend analysis:  Injury and illness,  Accident casual factors,  Inspection findings,  Employee concerns,  Safety maintenance work orders,  Job hazard analysis,  Etc.

19 Goals-Examples Goal-Improve hazard identification and reduction. Better-Conduct monthly inspections with emphasis on good housekeeping, proper use of protective equipment, condition of equipment, and preventive maintenance. Goal-Improve accident investigation. Better-Determine the cause(s) of an accident within 24 hours.

20 Goals-Examples Goal-Implement a Job Hazard Analysis Program. Better-Complete one Job Hazard Analysis monthly for each work area. Revise as necessary safe work procedures and training by the end of the following month. Goal-Improve Emergency preparedness capability. Better-Conduct and evaluate tornado drills every six months and a joint fire drill with evacuation with local fire department every year.

21 Objectives Objectives-Difference between a haphazard program and a carefully planned program. Objectives-Specific paths that will be followed to implement the goals of the Safety Program.

22 Policy/Goals/Objectives  Policy-reasons for the program.  Goals-point(s) to which to strive, the destination or endpoint.  Objectives-action plan in statements that obtain the goals.
