Safety and The Manager
Why is safety is important?
- Safety and accident prevention concern managers for several reasons, one of which is
the staggering number of workplace accidents.
- Reducing accidents often boils down to reducing accident-causing conditions and
accident-causing acts. Most safety experts would agree that safety should start at the
top.
- The supervisor’s role in accident prevention – local supervisors are responsible for
day-to-day inspections. Daily inspections should be part of a supervisor’s routine.
