ABSTRACT
Management of safety and health is accomplished through a strong leadership that provides the resources, motivation, priorities, and accountability for ensuring the safety and health of the workforce. This leadership involves setting up systems to ensure continuous improvement and maintaining a health and safety focus while attending to production concerns. Enlightened managers understand the value in creating and fostering a strong safety culture within their organization. Safety should be a priority so that it is a value of the organization as opposed to a mundane duty. Integrating safety and health concerns into the everyday management of the organization, just like production, quality control, and marketing allows for a proactive approach to accident prevention and demonstrates the importance of working safety in the entire organization.
