Safety Policy Statements - you are committed to what? I think they can have some value when they workplace-specific and not a generic statement copied from an ancient H&S manual (from a completely different industry). Some of the best ones I have seen are those developed by health and safety committees / safety teams, and in the past I have used this as a starter exercise when providing support to newly formed H&S committees. Personally I think that a policy statement developed by workers, in their own words, can be far more meaningful than a collection of generic management-speak safety statements.
