Maintenance Safety
Maintenance Safety
Does your property have an Accident Prevention Plan? Although it’s not a requirement, it is a “best business” practice to provide your maintenance team with one. This could be a very valuable tool if there is an accident.
For management to consider:
- Is there a written safety policy statement?
- Is the policy statement signed by management?
- Are copies of the policy provided to new employees?
- Are there individual(s) responsible for the development, implementation and enforcement of the Accident Prevention Plan?
- Are employee and supervisor responsibilities and authority assigned?
- Has a safety team been set up to monitor your safety and health program?
- Is there an established procedure for handling safety and health complaints?
Take the challenge, and look at your current guidelines. Your state may have a checklist of their own with respect to Workers’ Health and Safety as well.
