All employers need to have four things in place for every workplace hazard, says Phillip Russell, partner at Ogletree Deakins, a legal firm specializing in labor and employment law:
1. Have a rule, a process or a procedure for every hazard.
2. Have robust training on each of those rules.
3. Have a compliance program.
4. Maintain discipline around these process.
