I need a safety
policy statement for a fire department. I am including some tips about it
below.
The assignment reads as this …
Compose a safety policy statement for your current
organization (or an organization for which you previously worked), following
the guidelines in the course textbook. Be certain it is specific to the
organization, and not just a series of generic statements.
On a new page at the end of your policy statement, briefly
propose how the statement should be distributed to the organization. You may
also add additional comments or explanations as needed. If you use any sources
other than your own experience, you must include a reference list and in-text
citations.
You may choose any format for the layout of your policy
statement. For this assignment, APA formatting is required only for references
and citations. A title page is not required. Be sure to include your last name
in the name of the uploaded file, e.g., lastname_safety policy.doc
Tips below but you can adlib as
you please. Assignment due by 6:30 P.M CST

Workplace safety can be improved by implementing
a safety policy.
Employers must take measures to ensure safety in the workplace.
One of the first steps to implementing safety procedures in your workplace is
to draft a safety policy statement. According to the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA), your safety policy statement should be tailored
specifically to your company. However, there are some general guidelines you
can follow when writing your safety policy.

Instructions
1.
o 1
Identify and assess the risks associated with
your workplace. Include risks common to many businesses, such as fire or medical emergencies, but also
look for specific risks associated with your business. For example, if your
employees operate heavy machinery, consider the safety risks involved with the
specific pieces of equipment.
o 2
Hold a meeting with employee representatives (or
all of your employees if your business is small) and senior management to address the
risks. Keep minutes from the meeting.

Write the introduction of your safety policy.
Describe the reasons for the policy (to ensure safety in the workplace) and
briefly discuss the goals of the policy, such as to educate staff about safety concerns and to create a
plan of action for when emergencies or accidents occur.
o 4
Address each safety risk that is identified and
discuss how to handle each risk based on the minutes from the safety meeting
held to address each issue. Describe what must be done, e.g., exiting the
building, calling the fire department, etc. Use concise and actionable steps.
o 5
Describe what employees must do routinely to
keep the workplace safe. This includes simple steps such as daily cleaning of common
areas to prevent the spread of disease. It also includes long-term steps such
as monthly testing of fire and smoke detectors
