In this profession we have a saying when it comes to written safety programs… “steal with pride”. We learn early on in our careers that not much changes in OSHA standards so finding someone who already has a written program, training powerpoint, permits, checklist, etc. that we can just “steal it” rather than “recreating the wheel”. This practice has been around in profession for as long as there has been a safety profession. There is just one small problem… proliferating bad safety programs is a bad practice!
