Is there a sharing of responsibilities between management and employees?

SecurityCommitment, as well as the Quality is the promotion and appropriate behavior by the entire organization, management, especially top-level. While commitment starts with top management, it is particularly important that an organization uses effectively develops employees in the definition of assistance and the security process. Here staff will be very valuable to help that management participation system to function properly. This commitment is essential and must be easily visible byEvidence of commitment to "Walk the Walk and Talk the talk" and use the setting as "Not what I say."

Successful top managers use a variety of techniques that relate them to the visible security aspects of an organization. The key is to find methods that fit your style and that can be adapted to your workplace. As a rule, notall the processes to fit each organization as planned. You have to look at your business model and adapt it to the safety of your own business process. What comes first? "The chicken or the egg."

Employees will perform in the organization that the security is supported when her daily activities, considered as the prevention of injuries are seen. Daily activities can only happen if every employee knows what to do (their roles and responsibilities are clearly defined) and obliged to fulfillspecific activities, ie they will be held accountable for their actions.

As the two are together?
How are they measured?
How will it affect me now and in the future?
