Answer to Question 1

The Safety and Health Manager is responsible for establishing, implementing, and managing the company's overall safety and health program who reports to the CEO. Specific duties include the following:
 Establish and maintain a comprehensive company-wide safety and health program.
 Assess and analyze all jobs, processes, and materials for potential hazards.
 Work with appropriate personnel to develop, implement, monitor, and evaluate accident prevention/hazard control strategies.
 Ensure company-wide compliance with all applicable laws, standards, and codes.
 Coordinate the activities of all members of the company's safety and health program.
 Plan, implement, and broker, as appropriate, safety and health-related training.
 Maintain all required safety and health-related records and reports.
 Conduct accident investigations as necessary.
 Develop and maintain a company-wide Emergency Action Plan (EAP).
 Establish and maintain an ongoing safety promotion effort.
 Analyze the Company's products from the perspectives of safety, health, and liability.

Answer to Question 2

The good efforts of contractors, managers, other professionals, and supervisors will be to no avail if the individual employee refuses to cooperate. A safety and health policy will not prevent accidents unless employees accept it. Safe and healthy work processes will not prevent accidents unless they are put to use on the job. Ensuring a safe and healthy job site requires the concerted efforts of all members of the team, and employees are critical team members. It is not enough to simply know the rules relating to safety; the rules must also be followed. Following the rules relating to safety and health on the job site is the responsibility of the individual employee. It is not enough to simply not cause accidents on the job site. Employees must also play a positive, pro-active role in helping prevent accidents that might be caused by other employees.
