An evaluation of the safety and health program will be completed. (See sample guidelines in Appendix A.) These guidelines will be modified, based on the CSHO's professional judgment, to account for size and type of construction. A key indicator of an effective program will be the degree of knowledge which employees have of potential site specific safety and health hazards. This knowledge requires training (site familiarization) of skilled as well as nonskilled crafts in hazard recognition based on the employee's specific work environment and job related hazards.
