• Pick a safety officer or committee
• Hold safety meetings to share information, even the common sense topics
• Develop safety policies and facility inspection checklists
• Plan exactly what to do in an emergency
• Lead by example - owners and managers who follow the rules demonstrate a big commitment to safety
