✦ Synopsis

Managers are often reluctant to commit resources to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) despite implied benefits to employees and the organization. The author looks at the reasons for this reluctance and argues that the current policy of "safety pays" is not effective. Rather, it is the threat of personal prosecution that most impresses employers. Included in this text are strategies OHS officers and representatives can use to gain management co-operation and build a safety culture within their organizations.
