and to work on an ongoing basis to increase achievement levels for each policy over time.
Performance Metrics
The performance metrics for each policy are those included in each policy.
Procedures and Strategies
The procedures and strategies for achieving the goals of each policy are specified in each policy.
Responsible Party
The person and position that is responsible for the implementation of each policy in the building is listed

Time Period
Each policy is to be implemented on an ongoing basis going forward.
Review and Updating of these Policies

Quality Control for Policy Implementation
Reports on progress, problem identification and resolution, and achievements, are reported to the
responsible party at least quarterly. These reports are reviewed by the IMF FMD Health, Safety and
Environmental Officer for completeness and to make sure the implementation process and achievements
are on-track with the objectives. Any problems identified are discussed with the person responsible for
implementation of the affected policy or plan and a resolution is developed.
