Answer to Question 1

Management's responsibilities include the following: 1) establishing and maintaining the company's commitment to safety and health; 2) developing safety and health policies; 3) setting goals; 4) providing the necessary resources; 5) setting a positive example; 6) organizing, directing, controlling, evaluating, and revising the overall safety and health program.

Answer to Question 2

A safety policy is a statement of management's commitment to a quality work environment. To emphasize the commitment, it should be signed by the company's chief executive officer. A well-written safety policy will communicate the following messages as a minimum:
 The company is committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment and such an environment is a high priority.
 All employees are expected to work in a safe and healthy manner.
 Safety and health rules and regulations will be enforced.
