Summary

This time-proven favorite provides new safety managers with both the guidelines and the tools they need to understand their responsibilities and establish an effective safety program. So You're the Safety Director is considered indispensable by people who have been given safety-management responsibilities at their company but who do not have safety training. It equips readers with a template for evaluating, managing, and controlling company losses and for handling the OSHA compliance process. This latest edition includes OSHA's new 300 Log and explains how new safety directors can implement and utilize it in their organizations. It examines how to educate middle management on the requirements of a successful safety program and how to obtain their support. Readers will also examine the basic tasks of the safety director, the administrative process, and the safety policy and receive thorough and easy-to-follow guidance on establishing safety committees, investigating accidents and preventing their recurrence, and preparing for and handling OSHA inspections. The author includes numerous sample forms and a written safety program that readers can use as a guide for creating their own company safety program. Each chapter contains a summary for review and quick identification of its contents.
