ABSTRACT
Every 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 and how they are to be achieved. 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 fi nancial losses.
