Management leadership and worker participation are the keys to good safety and health performance at the workplace.
While effective management is about securing the health, safety and welfare of all staff, managers do not have the solutions to all health and safety problems. Workers and their representatives have the detailed knowledge and experience of how the job is done and how it affects them. Therefore workers and managers need to work together closely to find joint solutions to common problems.
