1 WORKPLACE SAFETY Plan

Introduction

The enclosed sample Workplace Safety Plan was created to assist employers with workplace safety plan
development and compliance.

This sample plan is intended to serve as the basis for Afritech-integrated safety and health management
program. The program consists of these seven essential elements/sections:

1. Management's commitment and involvement

2. Safety committee operation
3. Provisions for safety and health training
4. Safety Inspections
5. Preventive Maintenance
6. First aid procedures
7. Accident investigations
8. Recordkeeping of injuries
9. Job specific safety rules and procedures

The first eight elements/sections are common to all employers. Employers may want to modify Job Specific
Safety Rules and Procedures to reflect actual work-environment practices. However, if this manual meets the
needs of your company, it may be used exactly as written. If you have previously established and are
maintaining a safety program, you can continue to use your program if these essential elements are covered.
Use of all or part of this manual does not relieve employers of their responsibility to comply with other
applicable local, state or federal laws.

Instructions

Carefully review all sections of the sample program to know your employer responsibilities; determine which
changes or modifications (if any) are necessary to have the program better accommodate your workplace. (For
example, if a safety committee meets weekly or monthly instead of quarterly, then the Safety Committee
Operation Section of the manual should be amended to accommodate the practice.) Include any safety rules,
policies or procedures appropriate to your work environment that are not listed in this document. Edit any rules
or policies that should be modified to better fit your company needs. Remember—All employees must receive
a copy of your written safety program. Your company letterhead should be used as a cover for the program.

2 SAFETY COMMITTEE
2.1 SAFETY COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION
A safety coordinator or a safety committee has been established to recommend improvements to our workplace
safety program and to identify corrective measures needed to eliminate or control recognized safety and health
hazards. The safety committee consists of an “equal” representation of supervisory and nonsupervisory
members of our organization.

Safety Program Coordinator Nonsupervisory Employee Member

Supervisory Employee Member Nonsupervisory Employee Member

Supervisory Employee Member Nonsupervisory Employee Member

2.2 RESPONSIBILITIES
In a very small company, a Safety Coordinator can be appointed as the responsible party to satisfy the
committee requirements for the credit.
The safety committee shall determine the schedule for evaluating the effectiveness of control measures used to
protect employees from safety and health hazards in the workplace.
The safety committee will be responsible for assisting management in reviewing and updating workplace safety
rules based on accident investigation findings, any inspection findings, and employee reports of unsafe
conditions or work practices; and accepting and addressing anonymous complaints and suggestions from
employees.

The safety committee will be responsible for assisting management in updating the workplace safety program by
evaluating employee injury and accident records, identifying trends and patterns, and formulating corrective
measures to prevent recurrence.
The safety committee will be responsible for assisting management in evaluating employee accident-and illness-
prevention programs, and promoting safety and health awareness and co-worker participation through
continuous improvements to the workplace safety program. Safety committee members will participate in
safety training and will be responsible for assisting management in monitoring workplace safety education and
training to ensure that it is in place, that it is effective, and that it is documented.

3 SAFETY AND HEALTH TRAINING

3.1 SAFETY AND HEALTH ORIENTATION
Workplace safety and health orientation begins on the first day of initial employment or job transfer. Each
employee has access to a copy of this safety manual, through his or her supervisor, for review and future
reference, and each employee will be given a personal copy of the safety rules, policies and procedures
pertaining to his or her job. Supervisors will ask questions of employees and answer employees’ questions to
ensure knowledge and understanding of safety rules, policies and job-specific procedures described in our
workplace safety program manual.
All employees will be instructed by their supervisors that compliance with the safety rules described in the
workplace safety manual is required.
All training should be documented and records should be maintained.
3.2 JOB-SPECIFIC TRAINING
• Supervisors will initially train employees on how to perform assigned job tasks safely.
• Supervisors will carefully review with each employee the specific safety rules, policies and procedures
that are applicable and that are described in the workplace safety manual.
• Supervisors will give employees verbal instructions and specific directions on how to do the work
safely.
• Supervisors will observe employees performing the work. If necessary, the supervisor will provide a
demonstration using safe work practices or remedial instruction to correct training deficiencies
before an employee is permitted to do the work without supervision.
• All employees will receive safe operating instructions on seldom-used or new equipment before using
the equipment.
• Supervisors will review safe work practices with employees before permitting the performance of
new, nonroutine or specialized procedures.

3.3 PERIODIC RETRAINING OF EMPLOYEES

All employees will be retrained periodically on safety rules, policies and procedures, and when changes are
made to the workplace safety manual.
Individual employees will be retrained after the occurrence of a work-related injury caused by an unsafe act or
work practice, and when a supervisor observes employees displaying unsafe acts, practices or behaviors.

4 SAFETY INSPECTIONS
It is up to all employees to maintain safe working conditions.

Checklists for safety inspections ensure that important items are not overlooked. Inspections identify areas of
risk. (accident and/or injury)

OSHA recommends general workplace inspections; but, certain inspections are required. Be sure to check the
standards to know what you must do in your facility.

Safety Directors/Supervisors should continually monitor work areas but scheduled inspections should be
documented and done on a regular basis. Written reports of these inspections should be made and kept on file.

Management should make periodic inspections, announced and unannounced.

Vendors and organizations can supply inspection checklists. On the OSHA website (www.osha.gov), go to Safety
and Health Topics under Small Business Training, and you will find extensive self-inspection checklists.

The following suggestions of generic checklists may assist you in creating your own. Be sure to mention the date,
time, facility, and inspector and giving satisfactory, unsatisfactory, and “not applicable” columns.

5 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance programs will avoid most equipment failures. Provide regular equipment maintenance
to prevent breakdowns that can create hazards.

Preventive maintenance is a schedule of planned inspections to prevent breakdowns and failures before they
happen. Inspections should be performed at regularly scheduled times.

Preventive and regular maintenance should be documented, and tracked to completion.

During preventive maintenance, workers can document damage or wearing of parts or equipment so as to
repair or replace parts before they cause a failure or injuries.

Without a preventive maintenance program, you will lose productivity, and costs will escalate.
