In recent years, the safety management field has placed leadership
and commitment at the center of effective workplace health and
safety programs. At the same time, personal liability for workplace
health and safety has increased, resulting in poor outcomes for
individual managers. Discussing the minimum expectations that
courts and tribunals have of managers, Management Obligations for
Health and Safety examines the relationship between those
expectations and effective safety performance. The book looks at
safety management from the perspective of management obligations.
What expectations are placed on managers at all levels of an
organization to ensure that the workplace and systems of work are
safe, and how are these expectations considered and analyzed by
courts and public inquiries? As importantly, the book explores how
management actions in relation to these obligations and
expectations influence, positively or negatively, the safety
performance of an organization. With examples drawn from legal and
quasi-legal processes, one of the more enlightening and
thought-provoking features of this book is the extensive use of
cross examination taken from various proceedings. No one person
reacts the same to finding him- or herself responsible for managing
the aftermath of a death at work, or having to deal with the
immediate pressure of being subject to interviews and investigation
by safety regulators (much less the drawn-out experience of the
legal process), but one of the most constant reactions is "Why
didn't anybody tell me about this?" Stressing the importance of
safety culture, this book details the true nature of the
expectations that are placed on managers by virtue of their
obligation to provide a safe workplace.
