Background/Purpose of Request:
In order to best provide safety in a growing and changing workplace, Brunswick County Risk Management recommends adopting the enclosed Safety Manual. This manual includes safety standards for organization wide uses as well as safety standards for specific occupations. The safety manual has been used informally for a number of years; however, formal adoption is recommended.
It is recommended to adopt as a policy manual and allow the County Manager the ability to amend the Safety Manual on an on-going basis to allow for necessary changes. Changes may be required by the North Carolina Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Division and other governing entities. |
