 It
takes planning to maintain a safe and healthy workplace. Safety and health
programs focus on management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic
approach to finding and fixing hazards to keep workers safe and save a little
green. Take advantage of these resources to build your program and demonstrate
its value:
- The American Society of Safety Engineers’
on-demand webinar (free during March), Show Me the Money: Demonstrating the ROI (return on investment) in
People, Projects, and Programs, shows you how to develop credible ROI
arguments for your safety and health program.
- The National Safety Council’s
Preparing the Business Case
for Investment in Safety – A Guide for Safety Practitioners outlines strategies to communicate the value of workplace safety and
build management support for safety investments.
- OSHA’s On-Site Consultation Program offers no-cost
and confidential occupational safety and health services to small- and
medium-sized businesses in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several
U.S. territories, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. On-Site Consultation
services are separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or
citations.
The Safe + Sound Campaign is
organized by OSHA, the American Industrial Hygiene Association, the American
Society of Safety Engineers, The Center for Construction Research and Training,
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Safety
Council, and the Voluntary Protection Program Participants’ Association. For
more information and additional resources to help you establish or improve your
safety and health program, visit the Safe + Sound Campaign website.
