Demonstrates how accountability drives better safety performance. Shows how to devise, install, operate and maintain tailor-made accountability systems that will foster a sense of safety responsibility firstly in upper and middle managers and finally through the whole organization, reducing on-the-job injuries and illnesses. Drawing from management concepts such as Total Quality Management, Statistical Process Control and Management by Objectives, it provides guidance on: analyzing and understanding the corporation's individual culture, assessing current safety systems using audits and perception surveys; identifying the hazards that cause injuries and ilnesses; setting safety objectives and evaluating whether they have been met; establishing rewards for meeting safety performance goals; overcoming the pitfalls that traditionally doom accountability systems.
