Effective managers have found that involving employees in discussions of methods can:
- Identify useful prevention and control measures
- Serve as a means for communicating the rationale for decisions made
- Encourage employee acceptance of the decisions
When safe work procedures are the means of protection, ensuring that they are followed becomes critical.
- Ensuring safe work practices involves discipline in both a positive sense and a corrective sense.
- Create a disciplined environment in which all personnel act on the basis that worker safety and health protection is a fundamental value of the organization.
- Depends on the credibility of management's commitment to safety and health protection, through:
- Evidences of direct management involvement in safety and health matters
- Inclusion of employees in decisions which affect their safety and health
- Worksite analysis to identify hazards and potential hazards, stringent prevention, control measures, training.
- Having personnel understand the hazards to which they are exposed, why the hazards pose a threat, and how to protect themselves and others from the hazards.
- Training is reinforced by encouragement of attempts to work safely and by positive recognition of safe behavior.
