Policy Statements
The value of a policy statement is to let your employees, customers, and the public know that each is considered important to your business. It serves as a basis for establishing rules and procedures. It also serves as a guide for employee behavior when there are no specific rules or procedures that apply. For example, your safety policy statement should include comments like:
•  The goal of (your company's name) is to protect the safety of our employees, customers, and the general public. It is our intention to successfully produce our product/service without causing harm or injury to anyone.

•  As an employee of (your company's name), you have the responsibility to protect the life, safety, and health of yourself and your fellow workers by following all safety and health regulations set forth by our company.
