Objective

Depending on the industry of your company, you likely have an established safety program that outlines:

• the safety-related training requirements for various jobs, such as training on handling chemicals, working with machinery, or responding to accidents.
• medical requirements for various positions, such as the ability to pass a physical to perform a job, an annual eye test for operating machinery, or an annual hearing test to ensure that your hearing is not being damaged as a result of manufacturing noise at your work site. This is known as medical monitoring .
• personal protective equipment (PPE) that protects employees when performing certain tasks. This can include air masks, hazmat suits, hard hats, safety helmets, bullet-proof vests, and so forth.

With the general safety program requirements outlined, safety officers need to implement the safety program at their site by:

• assigning requirements to employees based on their job
• assigning employee-specific requirements to specific employees
• scheduling safety events to occur
• rescheduling events when necessary
• documenting the details of the events that occur
