Does a safety and health program really make a difference? Definitely!

The best Safety and Health Programs involve every level of the organization, instilling a safety culture that reduces accidents for workers and improves the bottom line for managers. When Safety and Health are part of the organization and a way of life, everyone wins.

There are four crucial questions you should be asking. The detailed answers are found in the four modules of this eTool*.

For additional information, see OSHA's Safety and Health Topics Page, Fact Sheet [567 KB PDF^*, 2 pages] or refer to Safety and Health News – Success Stories.

^* eTools are electronic Compliance Assistance Tools that provide guidance information for developing a comprehensive safety and health program. Although Safety and Health Programs are required by some states, there is no general OSHA requirement for such a program. Therefore, this eTool includes elements that go beyond specific OSHA mandates, such as recommendations for good industry practice. As indicated in the disclaimer, eTools do not create new OSHA requirements.*
