Adjustments are made until objectives are achieved. A performance management system motivates and recognizes quality safety and health performance, while ensuring that performance problems resulting in ineffective safety and health programs are recognized and addressed. Safety and health is integrated into all planning, design, and management processes. Failure to achieve mission safety and health objectives is viewed as a failure of the management system and corrective actions are taken without delay to correct these problems. Employees perceive that their supervisors deal appropriately with safety and health issues, and that the organization supports those efforts.
All employees value the safety and health of co-workers and the public.
Unsafe practices and conditions are identified and abated in a timely and efficient manner. All employees are trained in hazard recognition and abatement techniques. The need for highly qualified safety and health professionals is recognized and selections for safety and health positions are made accordingly. Safety and health training and professional development programs at both Department and bureau levels receive increased visibility and management support. Necessary safety and health issues receive adequate support through appropriations and shared resources.
