A written Site Safety
Policy provides the foundation for every successful safety program and should
be included as part of every contract issued to lower-tier subcontractors.
Clearly stating the Site
Safety Policy to every employee, contractor, subcontractor, and any other
personnel on the site will go a long way in avoiding the expense,
inconvenience, and other consequences of workplace accidents.
Obtaining written
acknowledgements from everyone confirming that they have read, understand and
agree with the safety policy will help protect you and your organization when
there is a workplace accident.
The ultimate
responsibility for Work Place Safety lies with Management and the Owners.
Starting with basic and
proven fundamental necessities ready to be modified to fit the task at hand
is the easiest, most efficient solution to save development time and ensure
success.
