The foundation of an effective safety program is established standards. These standards should be very specific and also made available to the personnel they apply to. Standards should be designed in such a way that following them would ensure a job is done safely. Accident prevention is accomplished by upholding these standards. Regulations and laws generally state end requirements of a safety program but not the methods of accomplishment. Policies are usually developed locally and act as a standard for operations and methodologies. The Safety Plan implements local policies and should address every law and regulation dictated by higher authority as it applies to the organization. The Safety Plan is the core of an effective safety program. Developing and Maintaining a Safety Plan (SOP) provides simple tools to automate the process and establish consistencies between similar organizations within a parent organization. This approach also guarantees compliance with regulatory agencies.
