The policy outlines comprehensive safety requirements, risk management procedures, training protocols, and incident reporting mechanisms. It becomes particularly crucial in high-risk industries or when contractors perform specialized work. The document helps organizations maintain a safe working environment, reduce accidents, ensure regulatory compliance, and establish clear safety responsibilities for all parties involved.
