Suggestion Program

The employees in your company should be encouraged to make safety and health suggestions to help improve a process, prevent an accident, or to make any improvement in the safety and health system.

The suggestion system should be implemented by a designated person, usually the safety director, who will be responsible for determining priority and the proper means of implementation. It's important to remember that in effective safety cultures, it's not necessary to have a policy that anonymity will be assured because a high level of trust exists between managers and employees.

Safety suggestions should be shared with the Safety and Health Committee for input. Suggestion forms may be placed in suggestion boxes or given directly to a designated person such as the immediate supervisor or safety committee chairperson.
