ABSTRACT

As you must know by now there are many common threads that run through the chapters within this book. First, management is ultimately accountable and responsible for its workforce’s safety and health (S&H) on the job. A key to an effective S&H effort is the implementation of the many facets of management techniques for S&H, the least of which is planning 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.
