The Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes small employers who operate an exemplary safety and health management system. Acceptance into SHARP by OSHA is an achievement of status that will single you out among your business peers as a model for worksite safety and health and will reap rewards for your business.

 

Experience and research have demonstrated that compliance with the minimum government rules results in the minimum protection of employees with an average safety record. It has been well established that an effective safety and health program is the best way to reduce workplace injuries.

In order to comply with the General Safety & Health Provisions outlined, it is necessary to establish a formal, written safety and health program. In addition, by developing and implementing a written safety and health program our company will qualify for a “Focused Inspection” rather than a “Comprehensive Inspection” should we receive a compliance visit from OSHA.

 

To raise the level of worker protection on all our projects and to obtain an exemplary safety record, the Safety and Health Management Program was developed with the goal of creating a safety culture that encourages cooperation between all parties of the project and increases participation by craftsmen and their representatives in the everyday safety activities. In addition, by developing and implementing this written safety and health program we will qualify for SHARP.
