Abstract This paper was presented to a conference on occupational safety and health held in Hong Kong on 20 November 2003. It argues that management should realize that the environment in which the organization operates is subject to continuous change and development. Serious and dedicated management should ensure that occupational safety and health (OSH) is an integral part of enterprise strategy and that good OSH performance among workers is rewarded. A six-step approach (TACTIC) for rewarding safe behaviour is outlined that aims to be Timely, Authentic, Customized, Tension avoided, Internalized and Characterized.
