From the OSHA website
Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior.
From Safety and Your Geoprofessional Practice published by the Geoprofessional Business Association
“For many major clients, safety performance is a key criterion when it comes to the procurement of professional services, directly or by subcontract. They are committed to avoiding on their property work-related injuries or illnesses caused by any outside entity that fails to follow established safety regulations or best industry practices.” Many of these major clients “use comprehensive prequalification questionnaires that inquire about a firm’s safety program and request electronic copies of documents that support the answers,”
It is clear that implementing a safety culture in your organization is not only critical for the health and well-being of your employees, but can also impact your ability to get and keep work from your clients. Since safety is so critical, MetaField makes it easy for you to emphasize safety in your organization. By using a tool you already have and many of your employees are familiar with you can get greater compliance.

Purpose
The Accreditation module is an add-on module within MetaField. It is used to create, store and manage all lab accreditation documentation and records. You will not see this module if it is not part of your subscription plan. If you do not have access to the Accreditation module and have interest in it, please engage in a discussion with your account manager at Agile Frameworks.
Home Page
The Accreditation home page is the central portal to all accreditation-related modules. It is divided into two primary sections. The Project Links section contains all project (lab)-specific modules. The General Links section contains modules that are more global to the organization and not lab-specific.
