    TEN STEPS

    TO CREATE A
    HEALTH & SAFETY ACTION PLAN

    There are as many different approaches to creating strategic action plans as there are health and
    safety issues to plan for. This factsheet offers information to assist in developing workplace safety
    and health action plans. Ten essential elements included in a successful plan are:

    1. Choose an Issue
    Decide what health and safety problems or issues you and your members want addressed. Use the
    “Checklist for Choosing an Issue” factsheet to help identify and select an issue.

    2. Gather Information
    Decide what information you need concerning the problems or issues you want to address. Use the
    “Gathering Information” factsheet for suggested resources.

    3. Determine the Solution


    Decide what solution you want to achieve. This is the overall goal or objective that you are seeking
    to accomplish.
    List your short-term goals or objectives that you could seek along the way to winning your overall
    goal.

    4. Make Sure You Have SMART Goals


    Evaluate your objectives to make sure they are SMART:
     Specific: specify a key result to be accomplished
     Measurable: so you can know whether or not you have succeeded
     Assignable: specify who will do what
     Realistic: but still represents a change and a challenge
     Timely: specify any deadlines or amount of time needed to complete

    5. Establish an Action Plan


    Plot a roadmap for achieving your long-term goal. Don’t forget to include a specific plan on
    achieving any short-term goals or objectives along the way. Use the Activity Handout “Strategic
    Planning to Improve Workplace Health & Safety” and the “”Checklist for Evaluating Tactics”.
    Elements of an action plan include:
     What – List all the different things that need to be done (e.g. gather information,
    communicate with/involve members).
     When – Develop a timetable with specific dates for achieving each task, and for
    the action plan as a whole. Make sure your timetables are reasonable!
     Who – Assign someone to be responsible for each particular task, including
    keeping a record of activities and reporting back on progress. Remember to
    involve rank-and-file members whenever and wherever possible.
     How – Identify resources that might be needed, and from whom or where
    resources could be obtained (resources include money, time, people materials,
    and etc.)

    6. Identify Obstacles
    Identify potential obstacles, and develop a specific action plan for preventing them. Also prepare for
    overcoming obstacles that cannot be prevented.

    7. Identify Allies
    Identify potential allies and develop a specific action plan for contacting and involving them. These
    allies could include AFL-CIO Area Labor Federations, Labor Councils, other unions or community
    groups.

    8. Communicate with the Members!


    Communicate with the members throughout the entire crisis/investigation. Let them know what the
    Union is doing. Broadcast victories along the way, and get feedback on any obstacles.

    9. Meet, Review & Modify


    Meet regularly to review progress and modify plans as needed. Members should be prepared to
    report on the status of each task.

    10. Evaluate the Plan


    At the end of the allotted time for your strategic plan, evaluate successes, strengths and weaknesses
    of the plan. Establish a system for long term follow-up to prevent future incidents. Incorporate what
    was learned into future strategic planning activities.
