OSHA Safety and Health Management System, Chapter 2, Safety and Health Management System - UPDATED

This Instruction establishes a Safety and Health Management System (SHMS) for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) employees. The Instruction also establishes safety and health programs as identified in subsequent chapters for Regional implementation. Employee participation is a key element of any successful SHMS. It is the intent of this program that all employees will participate in all aspects including reporting hazards, incidents, and injury/illness without fear of reprisal. Changes to the SHMS or programs that alter the SHMS or program policies require National Office review and approval. For the full language of the notice, see ADM 04-00-003 - OSHA Safety and Health Management System.
