Safety Program

The City of Oak Harbor's safety program goal is to lower risks for on-the-job injuries. The focus is on injury prevention to keep employees safe before an accident happens. The City conducts quarterly Central Safety Committee meetings and safety policies are included in the Accident Prevention Program (APP). Department sub-committees meet monthly to review and discuss safety topics, updated rules or regulations, and to complete safety training.
