Year-end program review and training
BACK TO YOU: DON HURST
With the construction season wrapping up, now might be a good time to review the effectiveness of your safety program. Once you have your safety and health program established, documentation and record keeping become critical elements to ensuring the program’s effectiveness. Key parts of your program to review include:
- The policies for each element of your program
- Safe-work practices and procedures
- PPE stocks
- Safety meeting topics and minutes
- Annual safety and health activity summaries and statistics
- Training requirements for the upcoming year
The skillful management of your program includes continually gathering evidence of your program and all its components. You must be able to demonstrate how you are implementing your safety and health policies, procedures, practices, inspections, testing, training, etc. Your documentation supplements and benefits your safety and health program by:
- Providing evidence of your proactive safety and health program and compliance with provincial safety and health legislation
- Assisting with continuous improvement
- Demonstrating your commitment to ongoing improvement
- Informing company management/ownership of safety performance
- Identifying trends in the safety and health program
