Health and Safety Programs in Small and Medium-sized Businesses: Setting Them Up and Making Them Work Effectively


Overview

This book is intended to help people newly involved in the development of workplace safety and health programs to understand principles and concepts that can help them roll out what is often referred to as a “safety program.” It introduces the safety and health landscape in simple terms and provides a framework for common program start-up or program improvement action steps. Providing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a primer on how to think about and go about creating a safety program, this book presents a higher-level overview, framework models and suggestions, resource information, and shares concepts that can help readers not only meet regulatory requirements but also provide true value to the organization. Safety consultant Greg G. Zigulis presents readers with an accessible overview of the types of things that should be known and considered in order to create and run an effective and sustainable health and safety program. Written for a broad professional readership, this book will be invaluable for all SME businesspersons and practitioners who need a seasoned expert to provide an understandable introduction to safety programs, whatever their situation. It’s particularly relevant to start-ups and people given responsibility for workplace safety without a background in this area.
