s particular exercise can be done individually, or as a team (maximum of 3 per team).
Develop an imaginary company of your own creation (name the company). Write a document to summarize the companys safety and health philosophy. Include things like: safety philosophy objectives, a pertinent mission statement, vision, values, goals, etc. Include core desrptors. These are the exact metrics or methods of measure to monitor and determine the success of meeting the companys safety philosophy objectives. Yes, youll be safe, but how will you accomplish this? Add a paragraph at the end, stating why and how these elements were developed. You may wish to consider an additional topic of Quality as a philosophy statement of importance for the company.
This document should include:
Mission Statement (maximum of three sentences),
Vision/Values (five detailed items),
Core Desrptors (six specific desrptors held by the idealized company),
Quality (section on this aspect may be added),
(a concluding paragraph should be written to explain how you developed and finalized this set of policies).
This company would essentially parallel the company where you expect to start your career in safety and health management. Think of this as a model you would present to a possible employer at your job interview. This mission, vision/values, and core desrptors must be written about the safety and health program expectations and achievement expectations. NOTE: DO NOT COPY AN EXISITNG SET OF STATEMENTS FROM AN EXISTING COMPANY!!
