Carolina Star Safety Programs
|
The Carolina Star Programs are designed to recognize and promote effective safety and health management. In STAR, management, labor, and OSH establish a cooperative relationship at a workplace that has implemented a strong program: |
-
Management agrees to operate an effective program that meets an established set of safety criteria.
-
Employees agree to participate in the program and work with management to ensure a safe and healthful workplace.
-
OSH initially verifies that the program meets STAR criteria. We then publicly recognize the site's exemplary program and remove the site from routine scheduled inspections lists (OSH may still investigate major accidents, valid formal employee complaints, and chemical spills.).
-
Becoming a STAR participant shows employees and the community that your company is a leader in safety and health.
|
| |
-
