Safety Plan - Why is it important to have a plan in place? You are required to have protocols in place should an occurrence happen. It's also a smart idea. Save time and money by utilizing BWC's Division of Safety and Hygiene free safety services to ensure that you and your staff have taken appropriate steps to make sure your office is compliant.

Nine key safety parameters essential to a successful safety program for your office:

	A written safety and health policy signed by the top company official that expresses the employer’s values and commitment to workplace safety and health
	Visible senior management leadership that promotes the belief that the management of safety is an organizational value
	Employee incentive and recognition that affords employees the opportunity to participate in the safety management process
	A program of regular communications on safety and health issues to keep all employees informed and to solicit feedback and suggestions
	Orientation and training for all employees
	Published safe work practices so that employees have a clear understanding of how to safely accomplish their job requirements
	Assigning an individual the role of coordinating safety efforts for the company
	Early return-to-work strategies to help injured or ill workers return to work
