Safety Management System (SMS) Implementation
(Safety and Health Action Plan)
Using
the Plan-Do-Can-Act (PDCA) model we have discussed, you will develop a
safety and health implementation plan. The plan will be compiled in
phases during the next four units. In Unit VII, you will reference this
information to develop a PowerPoint presentation, which will serve as
your course project.
In
this assignment, you are in the planning (P) phase of the
implementation. You will develop a safety management implementation
plan, which will include a safety and health policy statement.
Continuing
with the scenario introduced in Unit II (review Unit II PowerPoint
assignment in the syllabus), you have just received notice from upper
management that they are ready to move forward with the implementation
of a safety management system. As the safety expert at the company, you
have been tasked with leading the development and implementation
process. As you are in the initial phase of your project, you recognize
the importance of compiling an implementation plan. Using the
information you have covered in Units I, II, and III and the
supplemental documentation, prepare an action plan for your safety
management system.
Your plan should include the following elements:
a written safety and health policy statement,
three clearly defined occupational safety and health (OSH) objectives,
performance criteria roles and responsibilities (i.e., what is to be done, by whom, and when), and
the strategies on how measurement criteria for confirming the objectives are achieved.
Your
action plan should be two to three pages. Be sure to use at least one
additional scholarly source (such as an academic article from the CSU
Online Library and/or a government safety source such as OSHA) besides
your textbook as a reference for your assignment. All sources must be
cited and referenced according to APA standards. Be creative!
