## Resource

Goals are broad, long term outcomes — the “big picture” of what you want your safety program to achieve. 1. Reduce Workplace Injuries and Illnesses Create a safer work environment where hazards are identified and controlled before they cause harm. 2. Strengthen Safety Culture and Employee Engagement Build a workplace where employees feel responsible for safety, speak up, and actively participate in hazard prevention. 3. Ensure Compliance With All Applicable Safety Regulations Maintain full adherence to OSHA, industry standards, and internal policies to protect workers and reduce organizational risk. 📌 Three Occupational Safety Objectives Objectives are specific, measurable actions that support the goals. 1. Conduct Monthly Safety Inspections With 100% Follow Up Perform formal inspections every month and close all identified corrective actions within 30 days. 2. Increase Employee Hazard Reporting by 25% in the Next 12 Months Encourage proactive reporting through simplified processes, recognition programs, and supervisor engagement. 3. Provide Annual Safety Training With 95% Completion Rate Deliver required training (e.g., PPE, hazard communication, emergency response) and track completion to ensure competency.
