Workplace Safety Policies

As mandated by Section 24 of OSHA, all workplaces with 5 or more employees must develop and review the safety policy annually. A workplace safety policy clearly defines the employer’s commitment to health and safety protocols in the workplace. The safety policy must specify and define the roles and responsibilities of personnel handling safety measures in the organization. The policy should always include:

  • Commitment to providing a healthy and safe everyday work environment by defining the safety practices in daily work activities.

  • A statement defining employer’s responsibilities and precautions such as training to prevent injury and illness.

  • A statement that defines the role and responsibility of everyone working in the organization with regard to a safe workplace.

  • A statement demonstrating the safety procedure that will be implemented across all levels in the organization.
