Commitment
The employer demonstrates commitment by providing employees with the tools and equipment they need to work safe.
The success of your company's CSMS depends on the willingness of top management to demonstrate a long-term serious commitment to protect every employee from injury and illness on the job.
But how do you get top management commitment if you don't already have it? Genuine commitment does not just appear out of thin air.
Management commitment to safety will most likely occur to the extent each manager clearly understands the positive benefits derived from their effort. Understanding the benefits will create a strong desire to do what it takes to improve the company's safety culture.
Managers will invest serious time and money into effective safety management by developing safety policies, programs, plans and procedures. They will also display leadership through effective accountability and recognition of behaviors and results.
Bottom line: Serious commitment requires serious time and money.
