Conclusion
of your assessment
Of
the key components of a
Strong
Safety Management System
- The key to successful and efficient evaluation is to combine elements
when using each technique. First review the documentation available
relating to each element. Then walk through the worksite to observe how
effectively what is on paper appears to be implemented. While walking
around, interview employees to verify that what you read and what you saw
reflects the state of the safety and health program.
- Effective safety and health program evaluation is a dynamic
process. If you see or hear about aspects of the program not covered in
your document review, ask to receive the documents, if any, relating to
these aspects. If the documents inclluded program elements not visible
during your walk around the site and/or not known to employees, probe
further.
- Utilizing this cross-checking technique should result in an effective,
comprehensive evaluation of the worksite's safety and health program
