NYCHA’s 2015 Safety Strategic Plan
The Authority’s second agency-wide Safety Strategic Plan (SSP) was unveiled at the Safety Symposium. The purpose of the Plan is to provide common goals to foster a safer work environment. The following goals have been established:
- Conduct hazard assessments of each work location to identify opportunities for safety improvements.
- Increase safety communication within and across business units to identify and replicate best practices.
- Increase employee participation in workplace safety.
- Establish leading indicators of safety and corresponding goals for each division.
- Establish safety proficiency as a core component of professional development and performance evaluation.
- Increase employee preparedness for emergencies.
- Increase efficacy of accident/injury investigations.
The Plan also includes these four principles:
- Employee safety is the primary concern and cannot be compromised.
- Everyone is responsible and accountable for taking the necessary actions to provide a safe workplace.
- All employees are accountable for identifying and reporting hazards in the workplace.
- Collaboration with all stakeholders is critical to achieving a safe workplace.
