How to promote a positive safety attitude

Article Abstract:

Occupational health and safety can only be intensified and properly implemented if business owners encourage a positive safety attitude among workers. Safety-awareness attitude can be fostered by establishing anin-house committee which would be tasked with initiating well-being programs. It is equally important for employers to outline a long-term business plan in order to ensure that safety programs are properly supported and implemented. After a particular program has been launched, members must be able to conduct a detailed evaluation of the project.
