Business and Health: Messages for managers?
- To identify the human, social, economic and legal issues related to occupational health and safety in the workplace.
- To integrate occupational health and safety into the management of activities and projects of the company.
- To contribute to the management of occupational health and safety within the company.
- Be informed: what is my company doing in terms of health and safety?
- Be vigilant: managers must react at the right level to a situation entailing risk, either individually (signs of distress) or collectively (the emergence of a source of danger).
- Be exemplary: there exists a managerial mimicry. A negligent manager in health areas spreads undesirable behaviour.
- Be demanding: when you’re exemplary, you can and must demand that your employees obey the rules, without creating danger for themselves or others.
- Be benevolent: empathy doesn’t exclude demands, quite the contrary.
