ABSTRACT

Forming the safety leadership team (SLT) and arranging an external safety and health audit are already steps toward structuring a safety system. Setting up the system also calls for the constitution and establishment of different-tiered safety committees. It also establishes a safety culture baseline based on the audit findings. The big question now is: What is the next step in the implementation of a safety system, and how is it done? The short reply is that it’s like eating an elephant-one bite at a time. Bite one is getting the workplace in order.
