Descriptive goals

['Safety and Health Programs and Training']
Descriptive goals
  • A descriptive goal should be inclusive and attainable.

No numerical goal can be sufficiently inclusive and still attainable. Therefore, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recommended that companies adopt a broad, descriptive safety and health goal, such as: A comprehensive program that assesses all existing and known potential hazards of the worksite and prevents or controls these hazards. Such a goal is neither as succinct nor as easily measurable as a numerical goal. But it is attainable. Further, this goal will be helpful in setting objectives. And it should not be difficult to evaluate objectives and program results against this goal.
