There are 4 steps you should follow.
1. Create: After downloading the document files, the first step is to customise and complete all forms and templates. The manual of EHS Policies and Procedures should form the basis of your Environmental, Health and Safety strategy, with the Policies, Forms and Procedures used as regular business tools. Some templates may apply to your organisation more than others and the communication stage will determine the level of relevance.
2. Communicate: After reading through the EHS templates, consult with your employees. Discuss with them how to best implement and maintain the policies and procedures. Assign staff responsible for certain tasks and advise everyone the tasks that you all have to be aware of on a daily basis.
3. Implement: The EHS Policies and Procedures will be ineffective if not completed, implemented and maintained. Make sure that all employees are familiar with, and sign the acknowledgement form for, each Policy. This can be made into part of the new employee induction process. Ensure that each employee has access to copies of the procedures which make up the Policy implementation.
4. Review: On a regular basis and when there are major staff or equipment changes, review each Policy and Procedure to ensure it is still current and relevant. We recommend you also review your employees annually to ensure they have read and understood each Policy and its associated procedures.
Invest now to save you time and money in the future. Your business and your employees will thank you.
Consider purchasing the IT Handbook as a complement to your EHS Policy and Procedure manual.
