JUNE 2013 USING THE TURKEY SAFE WORK PRACTICES WITHIN THE FIVE STEP HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The Turkey Safe Work Practices are safe work guidelines, written by the industry, for the industry. They are recognized and supported by the organizations identifi ed on the acknowledgement pages of this manual. The safe work guidelines do not, on their own, ensure that there will be safety on the job. To effectively implement the Turkey Safe Work Practices Manual, there has to be a systematic approach to managing these within a health and safety program. "The Five Steps to Managing Health & Safety" provides a management system approach. The following graphic depicts the health and safety management model. A systematic approach is critical to a successful health and safety program. The Turkey Safe Work Practices Manual falls under the program element of Control Activities in the Five Step model. Each safe work practice is managed by using the fi ve steps. The industry working group has established the safe work practice as a guideline for the sector. Employers are responsible to communicate, train, implement and ensure that the practice is actually followed. Based on evaluation, recognition of success is given and improvements made when needed. This is the continuous improvement loop. The Five Step model is incorporated in the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) Safe Workplace Awareness Program (SWAP) which has formed the basis for the Safe Communities Incentive Program (SCIP) and Safety Groups. For purposes of the Turkey Safe Work Practices Manual , this manual provides an introduction to the Five Step model. For further information on the Five Step model and the full SWAP, contact the WSIB at 1-800-663-6639. 9
