What is a Safety Program?
• A well-written safety program (Injury and Illness Prevention Plan)
must meet compliance standards, be well-communicated, and be included
in training initiatives.
• The law requires maintaining and posting an OSHA log of work-related
injuries and illnesses.
Why is a Safety Program important?
• As an employer, you are legally obligated under a general duty
clause to ensure a healthy and safe work environment.

workers’ compensation rates.
