Management Commitment

A written management policy should be established committing to minimizing potential occupational exposures to levels that are as low as is reasonably practicable. The policy and commitment should be regularly communicated throughout the organization and reflected in:

• written administrative procedures, instructions and training materials for operations and contingencies potentially involving occupational exposures;
• facilities design; and
• instructions to designers, vendors and user personnel specifying or reviewing facility design, systems, operations or equipment.¹
