An effective occupational safety and health program includes the following four elements: Management commitment and employee involvement Worksite analysis Hazard prevention and control Safety and health training CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
5
These are complementary elements Management commitment provides motivation and resources Employee involvement allows workers to develop and express commitment to safety and health CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
6
Clearly state a worksite safety and health policy Establish and communicate a clear goal and objective for the safety and health program Involve top management in implementing the program CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
7
Encourage employees to get involved in the program and in decisions that affect their safety and health Communicate responsibility for all program aspects CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
8
Parties responsible for the safety and health program must have authority and resources Managers, supervisors, and employees must be held accountable for meeting their responsibilities Program operations must be reviewed at least annually, to evaluate, identify deficiencies, and revise, as needed CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
9
Examine the worksite and identify: existing hazards conditions and operations where changes might occur to create hazards Management must actively analyze the work and the worksite to anticipate and prevent harmful occurrences CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
10
Conduct a comprehensive baseline survey for safety and health Job Hazard Analysis Who may help you: OSHA Consultation Program Insurance companies Consultants CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
11
Conduct regular (usually weekly) site inspections Establish daily work area inspection procedures Develop and use a checklist Provide a reliable system for employees, without fear of reprisal, to notify management about apparent hazardous conditions and to receive timely and appropriate responses CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
12

Start by determining that a hazard or potential hazard exists\ Where feasible, prevent hazards by effective design of job or job site If the hazard cannot be eliminated, use hazard controls Eliminate or control hazards in a timely manner CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
14
Engineering controls Administrative controls Personal protective equipment Safe work practices communicated via training, positive reinforcement, correction of unsafe performance, and enforcement CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program To prevent and control hazards:
15
Maintain the facility and equipment Emergency planning Training and drills, as needed Medical program First aid on site Physician and emergency care nearby CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
16

Employees must understand the hazards they may be exposed to and how to prevent harm to themselves and others from hazard exposure Orientation training must be given to site and contract workers CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program
18
Analyze work to identify potential hazards in area of responsibility Maintain physical protections in work areas Reinforce employee training through performance feedback and, if needed, enforcement of safe work practices CB104 Intro to Safety and Health Program

Photos shown in this presentation may depict situations that are not in compliance with applicable OSHA requirements. It is not the intent of the content developers to provide compliance-based training in this presentation, the intent is more to address hazard awareness in the construction industry, and to recognize the overlapping hazards present in many construction workplaces. It should NOT be assumed that the suggestions, comments, or recommendations contained herein constitute a thorough review of the applicable standards, nor should discussion of “issues” or “concerns” be construed as a prioritization of hazards or possible controls. Where opinions (“best practices”) have been expressed, it is important to remember that safety issues in general and construction jobsites specifically will require a great deal of site - or hazard-specificity - a “one size fits all” approach is not recommended, nor will it likely be very effective. It is assumed that individuals using this presentation, or content, to augment their training programs will be “qualified” to do so, and that said presenters will be otherwise prepared to answer questions, solve problems, and discuss issues with their audiences. No representation is made as to the thoroughness of the presentation, nor to the exact methods of recommendation to be taken. It is understood that site conditions vary constantly, and that the developers of this content cannot be held responsible for safety problems they did not address or could not anticipate, nor those which have been discussed herein or during physical presentation. It is the responsibility of each employer contractor and their employees to comply with all pertinent rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which they work. Copies of all OSHA regulations are available form your local OSHA office. This presentation is intended to discuss Federal Regulations only – your individual State requirements may be more stringent. As a presenter, you should be prepared to discuss all of the potential issues/concerns, or problems inherent in those photos particularly.
