Communicating the Policy Throughout the Agency – 673.23(c)
PBT is committed to ensuring the safety of our clientele, personnel, and operations. Part of that commitment is developing an SMS and agency-wide safety culture that reduces agency risk to the lowest level possible. The first step in developing a full SMS and agency-wide safety culture is communicating the SMP throughout our agency.
The SMP and safety objectives are at the forefront of all communications. This communications strategy will include displaying visual aids such as safety-related posters, bulletins, and other materials in prominent work locations for existing employees, and including the policy statement in the onboarding material for all new employees and in the employee handbook. In addition, the policy statement will become part of our agency's regular safety meetings and other safety communications efforts. The policy will be signed by the Accountable Executive so that all employees know that the policy is supported by management.
