Abstract |
This article suggests that time and money may be wasted by developing safety programmes out of elements based on old and borrowed theories. Heinrich's domino theory of accident causation is today under serious question. Structuring of safety programmes should be situational, and this shows a need to measure more effectively employee opinion, credibility of management, and safety standards. The article suggests how this can be achieved. |
