ABSTRACT
How we motivate industry to adopt safe practices is a major issue. The whole focus of much of the effort in occupational health and safety is aimed at trying to understand why safety fails, trying to develop better ways of dealing with these failures and better ways of intervening to stop them occurring. All of the other parts of this book have looked at some of the most recent work and thought on many of these aspects. Unfortunately, all too often very sound safety solutions fail because they are not taken up by management or workers and incorporated into their normal work practices. Often it is not enough to have good solutions. To be implemented successfully in industry something more is needed. Traditionally this missing component for making safety solutions successful has been to make them mandatory. After all, it was reasoned, if it was a fundamentally good solution in the first place, industry or workers should use it, even if they need to be made to do so.
