Answer 1

Managers and other professionals are responsible for setting a positive example relating to safety and health and for translating the commitment of the contractor into everyday practice. This is accomplished by the following types of actions: 1) developing job descriptions that make safety and health part of every employee's job; 2) developing performance appraisal forms that contain safety and health criteria; 3) rewarding safe behavior on the job by making it an important factor in promotions and pay raises; 4) developing work procedures that emphasize safety and health; 5) recognizing safe work behavior as a part of company incentive programs; 6) ensuring that the company has a comprehensive, effective safety and health program; 7) keeping up to date with the latest OSHA standards and regulations relating to construction; and 8) effectively communicating safety and health information to all employees and subcontractors.
