Last month we gave you an overview of OSHA's Program Evaluation Profile, which is now being tested by inspectors in six field offices during routine compliance checks. This month you have the opportunity to see how your program would fare in the areas of management leadership and employee participation. We'll cover the rest of the PEP audit in coming months.
The charts below are used by OSHA compliance officers to assess programs in four key areas. What score would you give your program, based on the activity levels described for each rating? Remember, 1 = absent or ineffective, 2 = developmental, 3 = basic, 4 = superior, and 5 = outstanding. Higher ratings assume that all activity described for lower scores has been accomplished in addition to the activity listed for the level of performance that most closely matches your program.
