INVOLVEMENT

Management has to make the commitment to involve the workforce in safety and health at the worksite. Since management is in control, it is their prerogative to decide the extent of involvement, depending on what they can endure or on the amount of control they can forgo. However, there are positive outcomes from employees’ involvement. It is a real way to gain commitment to safety and health. Safety and health become personal issues for your workforce.
