The end of the year is a great time to reassess what has been accomplished for the year, what didn’t quite get completed, or what simply just fell off the radar. Having a clear plan for the upcoming year can prove beneficial for identifying and assessing risks and hazards to reduce work-related injuries. Taking a proactive approach to prioritize your annual plan and set goals could include:
- improving reporting and investigating near misses
- encouraging engagement for safety at all levels
- improving safety training programs
- implementing new measures to control hazards
- developing safe work practices
- creating new ways to communicate about safety and health
- strengthening your safety culture
Utilizing a Safety Action Plan can help you achieve your goals by: 1) identifying hazards, 2) establishing who’s responsible for eliminating each hazard, 3) planning a course of action to remove the hazards, 4) taking the necessary corrective actions to eliminate the hazards and 5) establishing a system to prevent the hazard from returning.
