Osha And Safety Programs
OSHA requires each facility have a Safety Program that is relevant to the work being conducted at that facility
. The Safety Program must be tailored to fit the specific needs of the many different operations and functions being performed so each employee is protected from unnecessary risks at work. A skilled Certified Safety Professional (CSP) can help your company put together a safety program and perform regular interval audits to ensure the program remains relevant.
OSHA does not offer or recommend each Safety Program be the same. Each facility has many different functions and duties that must be performed on a daily basis. The Safety Program must, therefore, be appropriate for the employees in those roles. For example, fall safety is not relevant for employees that are not in scaffolding during their job duties.
The Certified Safety Professional is able to put together a comprehensive plan and give training to employees to ensure safety at the workplace remains a priority. Typically the Plan is a substantial number of pages to encompass all employees and their jobs.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is equipment provided to employees to mitigate the hazards while working. If fumes are an issue due to the job role, respirators may be an appropriate solution. The correct respirator for the job must be chosen and the company should mandate employees to wear the PPE. The respirators would then need to be inspected to replace used filters and ensure a proper fit. Employees can change weight, which would affect the fit of the respirator. Straps might also be damaged, and require replacement. Therefore, it is critical that the CSP look at each employees PPE to ensure it is in working condition for that employee.

OSHA can levy heavy fines for companies that do not have a Safety Plan, or for plans that are not comprehensive. The CSP can also keep your Plan up to date with any new policy or regulation for the specific areas you have in your Plan. Requirements continue to evolve and update on a regular basis and it is important to be current to avoid fines and keep your employees safe. People are worth protecting and it is crucial to take the proper steps today to ensure a safe working environment for each employee that works at your company.
