With my best wishes to all, I would like to add the below mentioned point to the discussion going on.
The safety budget - planning to mannage for the financial resources required to perform the activities (either pre planned or otherwise to cope up with emergencies) for achieving the set targets for the safety department of the organisation.
Each and every possible actions required to be taken during the period being planned for should be considered and should be evaluated in terms of finance or in any other measurable terms (such as man hours or man days to be spent for training)
The few factors to be considered are -
1. Training for safety - Inhouse By External Faculty
Inhouse By Internal Faculty
Nomnations for training to programs being
conducted externally
2. Seminars on Safety
3. Promotional activities such as Competitions on various safety related factors
4. Celberation of Safety Day / Week and other days dedicated to Environment,
Fire etc.
5. Hiring of External Consultants for Audits and studies (Hazop etc.)
6. Expenses to be incurred towards internal audits by auditors from corporate or
from other group unit.
7. Expenses for liasioning activities.
8. Expenses towards presentations to be made if applied for awards at various
levels.
9. Expenses towards PPEs, Testing Instruments etc.
The list is not limited to these mentioned points only. I have mentioned the points which crossed my mind whil going through this discussion.
Lots of points have been covered by other contibutors.
This certainly does not answer the querry of Mr. Abhay completly, but I hope this is certainly a part of the answer.
Regards to all.
Raman.
