Identify Safety Programs

In the design phase you need to determine which specific safety programs will be a part of the CSMS.

vision
The CSMS is composed of many programs.

Every CSMS is composed of various programs that are actually quite similar in structure to the corporate SMS but they have a very narrow focus and are determined primarily by the type of construction performed by the company. Each program can also be created using the 3D process.

Below are just a few of the programs usually included in the CSMS:

  • Safety Training Program
  • Safety Suggestion/Recognition Program
  • Industrial Hygiene Program
  • Hazard Communication Program
  • Confined Space Safety Program
  • Industrial Truck Safety Program
  • Construction Safety Committee Program
  • Electrical Safety Program
  • Asbestos Safety Program

We will discuss more about plans, policies, programs, processes, procedures and practices (the 6-P's) in upcoming modules.
