Sample Safety Policy: Ready to
Customize for Your Business
Benefits: The sample
safety policy in the attached file is designed to help you
create a formal safety policy for your company. It contains the
essential elements of a safety policy and is broadly written to
cover a variety of workplace environments that pose differing
levels of hazards. It can be edited and customized to meet the
needs of your business.
A written safety policy provides the foundation for every
successful safety program and could help you avoid the expense,
inconvenience, and other consequences of workplace accidents by
making sure that employees know what is expected of them.
Although you can orally inform employees of safety standards and
procedures, for lasting impact there is no substitute for a
written policy to which an employee may refer. And if each
employee acknowledges that he or she has read the policy, it can
help protect you when there is a workplace accident.
File Description: The
file contains a four-page document in rich text format (RTF)
that is suitable for use with most word processing programs used
in the Windows environment.
