ABSTRACT
In 2001, on the advice of the local Committee for Prevention and Protection in the Workplace (CPBW), chemical company Bayer Antwerp decided to rethink the safety training programme for new employees. This also paved the way for a new way of thinking about autonomy within the organisation. The apparent contradiction between autonomous behaviour and guided behaviour was at the centre of debate between the prevention department, management and the CPBW members.
