Designing a Safety Program

The safety program is composed of a group of interrelated elements, each of which is intended to satisfy one or more of the objectives 

Hazard Injury or danger Location Typical standard 

Airborne Respiratory, eye, and skin Research laboratories, animal OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94, 

Allergen Occupational asthma, atopy, anaphylaxis Research laboratories, research animal colonies, animal science, veterinary science, greenhouses, farms Local health regulations

Each location is required to establish a safety program designed to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for employees. This safety program must incorporate the following elements. 

Protective devices are often used to prevent contact of chemicals with the respiratory tract, eyes, skin, and digestive system. Foulger states that a safety program should be designed to prevent or minimize contact of chemicals (or materials that are injurious to health) with the body respiratory protective devices, safety glasses and shields, impermeable clothing, gloves, shoes, and masks must be made available... 

These types of safety and loss prevention incentive programs are new and different for most employees. Most employees with any type of longevity in the industrial workforce have participated in the traditional programs. Safety and loss prevention professionals are encouraged to talk with their employees to find out what motivates them. The employees will tell the safety and loss prevention professional their likes and dislikes, and the safety and loss prevention professional can design a creative program to trip their motivational trigger. 

Many managers do not associate preventive maintenance with a safety program. However, good preventive maintenance plays a major role in making sure that hazard controls continue to function effectively. This will help to ensure that installed controls are still working as designed. Preventive maintenance also keeps new hazards from arising as a result of equipment malfunction [2]. 

The safety director and the nurse practitioner designed a training program to be delivered during employee orientation. The programs inform the employees about the company safety and health policies and procedures and program elements, and alerted them to specific hazards in their jobs and what they need to do to protect themselves. Safety department and medical provider staff members who were prepared by... 

How would you design a safety incentive program Explain why you would include each component. 

A primary objective of any safety program is to maintain or reduce the level of risk in the process. The design basis, especially inherently safer features that are built into the installation, must be documented. Management of change programs must preserve and keep the base record current and protect against elimination of inherently safer features. For identical substitution, the level of risk in the process is... 

A properly designed and implemented site-speeifie HASP provides the basis for proteetion of workers, visitors, and the publie. The HASP is a requirement at all HAZWOPER sites [1] and will likely soon beeome a requirement at all sites. However, before we begin development of the HASP there is a lot of work to do. The following diseussion will outline the diflferenees between a health and safety program and a HASP doeument.
