Description
Every employer, every executive and every manager is responsible for safety and health in their enterprise. The quality of leadership not only determines how safety and health are practiced in the enterprise, but also how attractive, successful and sustainable it will be.
Modern leadership demands open communication and a clear management culture. Good leadership is exhibited by predictability, consistency, attentiveness, and open communication. What managers do, tolerate and demand sets the standard for employees. The legal responsibility remains in the company’s top management, but it is what everybody on the job site does that produces results! There may be only one leader, but leadership in safety, health and well-being rests with everyone!
Violations of the rules need to be addressed immediately – look at things! Pointing out hazardous conditions is to be rewarded. What managers do, tolerate and demand sets the standard for other employees.
