Sample Solution
Presentation: Human Resources Policies and Standards I. Environmental Health & Safety Policy A. Summary of the Policy At Brightview Senior Living, environmental health & safety is a priority for our residents, associates, and visitors alike. We strive to provide a safe environment by complying with all applicable laws and regulations including those related to fire safety,
hazardous materials management, occupational health and safety, food sanitation, public health protection, building construction/maintenance codes and other comparable regulations or standards that may apply from time-to-time at our communities (Brightview Senior Living).
B. Legislative Roots of the Policy
The legislative roots of this policy come from various federal laws such as Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA), The Hazardous Waste Management Program (HWMP), The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as well as state laws like California's AB 32 which requires businesses to reduce their green house gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
C. Pending Changes in Legislation
Currently there are no pending changes in legislation but new measures are constantly being proposed to protect public health from potential risks associated with air pollution or water contamination (CalEPA).
D. Performance Metrics for Successful Implementation
To ensure successful implementation of this policy Brightview Senior Living will monitor any feedback received from staff or external stakeholders regarding any incidents or concerns related to environmental health & safety at our communities; track compliance with relevant laws/regulations through audits; document corrective actions taken when necessary; review operational policies regularly; develop emergency preparedness plans for each community; perform thorough risk assessments on a regular basis; establish periodic training sessions for staff on environmental hazards and best practices in handling them; keep up-to-date records on air quality monitoring data etc.
II. Illegal Substances & Alcohol Policy
A. Summary of the Policy
At Brightview Senior Living we have zero tolerance against illegal substances and alcohol use while on company premises whether during work hours or outside of them including parking lots owned by us - even if not used while performing duties within scope of employment but still resulting in incapacitation due to drugs/alcohol abuse whether obtained legally or illegally it will still be treated accordingly and severely per Company’s code of conduct violations .
B . Legislative Roots of the Policy
This policy is rooted in federal law such as Drug Free Workplace Act 1986 which prohibits use / possession / distribution / sale / manufacture etc., along with unlawful drug paraphernalia items inside workplace premises regardless employee's off duty status - similar rules exist across states based upon their respective versions like Utah State Law 76–8–103 etc., additionally private sector companies can create stricter guidelines under corporate policies applicable under same context . C . Pending Changes in Legislation Currently there are no changes pending however various OSHA programs focuses upon drug free workplace initiatives within employers’ framework setup hence developing updated awareness campaigns should be periodically scheduled until further notification arises over respective matter matters .. D . Performance Metrics for Successful Implementation To ensure successful implementation monitoring behavior patterns among employees shall be done regularly via supervisor observation system, random tests might also help if found necessary else suspected cases shall be referred towards appropriate agencies mandated under local legal protocols – all violations must reported timely wither directly from consumers/victims themselves or whistleblowers reporting confidential sources before proper investigation could take place so adequate action could follow suit afterwards .
