Kentucky Safety Program

Employees of every organization are the key to an effective safety program (see 101 KAR 2:150). As a state employee, you are responsible for taking safety precautions to protect yourself and others from unnecessary safety and health hazards. This responsibility includes knowledge of and compliance with the Kentucky Safety Program Rules, and making suggestions for improved safety conditions or work practices to your supervisor. Fulfillment of these responsibilities will result in a safer work environment for all government employees.

Information on the Kentucky Safety Program as well as the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Safety and Health Manual can be found on the Personnel Cabinet’s website at http://personnel.ky.gov/programs/safetyprogram/default.htm . You can also contact the State Safety Coordinator at (502) 564-6847.
