Management Leadership
Management provides the leadership, vision, and resources needed to implement an effective safety and health program.
Management provides the leadership, vision, and resources needed.
Management leadership means that business owners, managers, and supervisors do the following:
- Make safety a core value, rather than a priority. Values do not change. As a value, safety is reflected in this statement: "Safe production or no production."
- Are fully committed to eliminating hazards, protecting workers, and continuously improving workplace safety and health. Managers don't just talk about it, they commit by taking action.
- Provide sufficient resources (time, money, equipment, training, and people) such as purchasing top quality safety equipment and PPE.
- Visibly demonstrate and communicate their safety and health commitment to workers and others.
- Set an example through their actions. If managers and supervisors do not set the best examples, we cannot expect it from employees.
