Posted By P.J.O'Callaghan Apart from the obvious barriers such as resourses, committal from all levels what else would you look for

Posted By Nigel Hammond This is an interesting question - a one-liner but the answers must be numerous! I find that getting people to set health & safety objectives - particular the Corporate objectives - within their management plans to be a real barrier. Other issues are bringing in agency staff and contractors who do not understand the management system. There often is not enough time or energy put in to getting them to understand the management system. A similar problem occurs with head office admin staff - who often regard themselves as outside the health & safety management system.
