What Is an Annual Health and Safety Review?

Safety and health programs are designed to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, as well as the financial stress any these events can cause for employers, employees and their families. OSHA’s recommended practices for small and medium-sized businesses present an effective step-by-step approach to implementing a successful S&H program.

Every organization should have its own unique program that reflects your specific business practices, work hazards, and how you maintain the health and safety of your employees. A safety and health program should begin with a basic system with simple goals and go up from there. By focusing on achieving goals, evaluating outcomes, and monitoring performance your business will continue to advance to higher levels of health and safety success.

Businesses find that implementing the recommended practices also offers additional benefits. Comprehensive safety and health programs help employers:

• Better adhere to compliance laws and regulations
