| Abstract |
Safety and health programmes were studied to develop a general framework for analysing self regulation in the efforts to decrease accidents and diseases. Discussed are: the control of hazards (elimination, containment, mitigation); organisational context of hazard control (strategies and resources); technical controls (identification of need, control standards, implementation of the control standards, maintenance and updating the standards and processes); motivation (information to personnel; objectives, culture and atmosphere in the enterprise, responsibility and authority; mechanisms of accountability and performance measurement). A checklist of questions on programme effectiveness is given. |
