    SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION

    INTRODUCTION

    This document is a tool to give assistance in developing a written Safety and HealthManagement System (SHMS). A SHMS is also referred to as an Accident PreventionProgram. A written accident prevention program is a required part of fulfilling therequirement in M!SHA "onstruction Safety Standard# Part $. %eneral &ules# &ule $$'($) to have an Accident Prevention Program.

    This document includes some sample language# notes# and additional resources to helpyou prepare your written accident prevention program. ach company should tailortheir own system and formulate safety procedures and rules applicale to their ownwor* operations and wor* environments.

    +ailure to develop a written construction safety and health management system specificto your operation may result in a M!SHA violation.

    ,esite lin*s are provided throughout this document to guide you to M!SHAStandards and other resource documents.

    ,or*place in-uries are preventale. A SHMS is your est defense against wor*placein-uries.

    An effective SHMS has five primary elements

    Management "ommitment and Planning# mployee nvolvement# ,or*site Analysis# Ha/ard Prevention and "ontrol# Safety and Health Training.

    This systematic approach integrates occupational safety and health o-ectives into thecompany0s organi/ational structure.

    The results of a system approach include

    An effective system supports the organi/ation0s philosophy. Safety and health policies and goals are clearly communicated. Accountaility for implementing the system is understood and accepted. 1ong2term solutions are implemented rather than one2time fi3es.

    valuation of results over time promotes continual improvement. An effective system positively impacts the company0s ottom line.

    Be sure to assess your work operations and include safety and health information thatfits your specific needs, types of hazards, and the size and complexity of your business.

    MIOSHA Safety and Health Standards

    A good way to egin the development of a SHMS is to determine which standards andrules apply to the wor* eing performed in your organi/ation. The chart elow provideslin*s to M!SHA standards.

    All standards can e found at www.michigan.gov4mioshastandards.
