Employers

Safety is part and parcel of running a business. Build it into your plans.

Put it on your balance sheet.

Never make people choose between a paycheque and their lives.

Do not cut corners.

Do not bend the rules. Remember that safety and profit are not mutually exclusive - they go

hand in hand.

Dont wait to react to problems - deal with them up front.

Focus on prevention.

Understand your responsibilities. Care about your workforce.

Always remember that every incident can be prevented.

Change - EHSIt has been suggested that the change the world has

undergone from 1995 to 2005 is equivalent to the

change we experienced from 1895 to 1995: one hundred

years compressed into ten.

Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival.
