ABSTRACT
Every construction organization should have a clear
policy for the management of health and safety so that
everybody associated with the organization is aware of its
health and safety aims and objectives. For a policy to be
effective, it must be honoured in the spirit as well as the
letter. A good health and safety policy will also enhance
the performance of the organization in areas other than
health and safety, help with the personal development of
the workforce and reduce financial losses. It is important
that each construction site throughout the organization is
aware of the policy.
