ABSTRACT
With regard to the management of safety and loss prevention, there are several management theories and approaches, including management control system management, management by objectives, group dynamic and human approach management, and Total Safety Management, that have successfully been utilized in different organizations. The particular management theory selected for use within any given organization must meet the needs and management style of the organization. There is no one right or wrong management theory for any given organization as long as the management system selected provides a consistent and systematic approach that proactively addresses the underlying causes and risk factors that may ultimately lead to an accident.
