For a safety program to be truly effective, it must start at the top. It should have a higher purpose than simply complying with OSHA. Although OSHA compliance is important, if that is the only purpose of a company’s safety effort the safety program will not be as effective as it should be. Safety needs to be considered a core organizational value that directly contributes to the overall success, growth and profitability of the company. Safety is an investment in the continued success of the company.
