ABSTRACT

Managing the safety and health functions should be accomplished like any other aspect of doing business. First, management is ultimately accountable and responsible for its workforce’s safety and health on the job. The key to establishing an effective safety and health effort is the implementation of the many facets of management techniques for safety and health, the least of which is planning and employing an organized approach. It is imperative that you must identify your problem areas (hazards) and make an honest effort to address them or control them in some way. This is especially true for the people service sectors.
