A proactive approach to
occupational health and safety
can prevent these issues.
Traditional approaches are
more reactive and are usually
short term solutions that
address immediate concerns.
This includes a sick or injured
worker, a problem that can
cause injuries etc.

Worker participation is
necessary for the success of
any health and safety program.
In case your workers are
backed by a union,
representatives should be
approached to participate.
That way, you can meet the
standards dictated by the
National Labor Relations Act
and OSHA Safety and Health
Act of 19270.

aspects of the program

notify you about concerns

and safety information
