In the first blog post of this series, we discussed how management, leadership, and employee involvement contribute to workplace safety.  In our second blog post, we reviewed how to analyze your workplace facility.  In our third blog post, we reviewed hazard prevention and control.  Now that we have gone over the first three elements of a workplace safety program, it is time to review the fourth: Safety and Health Training Education.

Through the past two blog posts, you have learned about the first two elements of creating a safety program.  The first element, dealing with management, leadership, and employee involvement, is very important when it comes to organizing, implementing, and successfully executing your plan.  The second element deals with worksite analysis and explains how often you should conduct an analysis.  Analysis should be used to identify and eliminate existing and potential hazards.  Today, we are going to go in depth about hazard prevention and control, and the next blog post will explain the fourth and final element: safety and health training education.

As discussed in the previous blog post, there are four elements of a workplace safety program.  The first element deals with management, leadership, and employee involvement.  The second element involves worksite analysis.  The third element deals with hazard prevention and control, and the final element incorporates safety and health training and education.  This blog post will dive deeper into the worksite analysis element.
