Policies and Processes
Developing CSMS Policies
Safety policies help to set standards and guidelines for decision-making.
Policies help to develop procedures.
They let managers, supervisors and employees make safety decisions with some degree of confidence without having to constantly check with "the boss." Managers, supervisors and workers know they are making decisions that conform to corporate safety policies.
The safety policy is usually stated in three different ways:
- What you intend to do in safety: "It will be our policy to perform safe-construction or no-construction."
- Who will be involved in safety: "Site supervisors/foreman will be responsible for the safety of workers on their site."
- How you will control safety: "Lockout/Tagout will be performed for electrical work on 50V circuits or higher."
