Rank: Guest		Posted By MCK I realise that there are a combination of measures required. However, if you had a magic wand, what one measure would you like to see implemented and working 100% in your workplace - that you feel would make the most difference? For me - supervisors supervising. Not a moan, just wish i had that wand. Everyone elses thoughts would be interesting, but remember just the one.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Sally Personal responsibility - if the SSOW says wear safety glasses you wear safety glasses, if it says isolate the machinery you isolate the machinery. There would be a lot less need for supervision if employees showed a bit of responsibility for their own actions and didn't always blame 'management'

Rank: Guest		Posted By Raymond Rapp Is Swis cheating? After all, the safety culture of an organisation is made up from many different elements, including policies, procedures, training, supervision and so on. My personal choice is learning from previous accidents and incidents. Ray

Rank: Guest		Posted By steve e ashton http://www.iosh.co.uk/in...iew&forum=1&thread=28066 discussed a similar search for the holy grail. My answer at that time - which I still think is applicable - was "Try to get an MD/CEO who has suffered serious occupational injury or life threatening illness. Learning from experience is so much easier when the experience is your own!" Steve

Rank: Guest		Posted By martinw Small beer(dissimilar to the true origin of the phrase I know) but my point is that the more lager imbibed, the higher the risk but the less you would care about it. I make that Pimm's o'clock.
