Health & Safety Program Compliance

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is the federal agency responsible for protecting the health and safety of workers. OSHA works to ensure that employers follow occupational safety and health regulations and keep the workplace safe. Providing a safe workplace is not only a regulatory requirement it is an effective way of improving performance and the bottom-line. Companies that maintain a healthy workforce will find both direct cost-savings, e.g., lower workers’ compensation insurance and reduced medical expenditures, as well as impacts on indirect costs that may include increases in productivity and morale which lead to reductions in turnover.

OSHA Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines, originally issued in January 1989 as The Four-Point Workplace Program, describe voluntary guidelines representing OSHA’s policy on what every worksite should have in place to protect workers from occupational hazards. The key program elements include:
Management commitment and employee involvement,
Worksite Analysis,
Hazard Prevention and Control, and
Training for Employees, Supervisors, and Managers.
In addition to the federal program, there are currently 22 States and jurisdictions operating complete State plans (covering both the private sector and State and local government employees) and 5 – Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and the Virgin Islands – which cover public employees only. (Eight other States were approved at one time but subsequently withdrew their programs).
