Such a situation will then very likely elevate safety and health in the country to unprecedented standards. Moulding the culture will take time and effort, but the result will be very pleasant and will definitely go a long way towards helping us solve many OSH problems. The 'safe and healthy work' culture will not happen by accident. Safety and health has to be managed. Safety and health awareness must be deliberately fostered by as many specific methods as can be devised.
Likely avenues are education, training, provision of better information, advice and publicity.
I am convinced that we have the means, the ways and the resources to create a 'safe and healthy work' culture not only for the benefit of the employees but to the country as a whole. We are facing greater expectations to ensure safety and health in our organisations. The answer is not the introduction of more rules and regulations. The challenge is to ensure compliance with all the rules and regulations that we already have today. Safety and health not only has to be managed but it has to be managed successfully.
