title: Guidelines for an occupational safety and health program.
abstract: 1. OSHA has suggested that safety and health programs contain, at a minimum, the following four components: management commitment and employee involvement; worksite analysis; hazard prevention and control; and safety and health training. 2. Goals and objectives must be communicated to all employees so that everyone understands the direction the organization wants to take. 3. Periodic comprehensive surveys of the worksite provide an opportunity to step back from the routine checks for previously recognized hazards and look for others. 4. Ultimately every employee should receive safety and health training. This is essential if everyone is going to understand and accomplish "safe production."
