Safety and Health Programs

An effective safety and health program is the management system that holds all other safety topics together. This elective covers 29 CFR 1926.20 (employer safety programs), 29 CFR 1926.21 (safety training and education), hazard identification and assessment, incident investigation, and the supervisor's role in creating a culture where safety is integrated into production — not competing with it. OSHA's Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs provide the framework.
