The degree of integration of safety principles and standards, and employee involvement in the system, is directly proportional to the amount of management leadership and commitment. The more encouragement and support management gives employees, the more positive their attitude will become and the more they will partake in the safety system. 

The purpose of a safety management system is to assist management in developing and operating a system to prevent and control accidental loss, get managers and employees involved in safety activities, and increase the effectiveness of operations within the organization. A system also defines safety authorities, responsibilities, and accountabilities and sets standards for various aspects of safety, health, and environmental protection.

In the Sustain phase, we focus on committing everyone involved in the work environment to adhere to the 5S standards. This includes everyone from production employees to top management.

To accomplish these objectives we need organizationwide training and methods of communication. And we need to standardize these throughout the organization. 

The audit s objective affects both the form and the content of audit. It is our contention that audits are suited to determine point-in-time compliance. It is relatively easy to design an audit to determine point-in-time compliance with a regulation or a standard. It is much more difficult to design an audit process that will reliably help evaluate and improve a process. It is unlikely that a standardized audit could accomplish this. What is required is that the auditor has an understanding of the particular process under study. Based on this understanding, the auditor can then design questions to evaluate the process. We have some limited experience with this approach. It lacks the appeal of standardization and is relatively slow and costly. Moreover, it can succeed only in an atmosphere of trust. If the auditor is to ever find out what is really happening, the employees involved have to be confident that the information they reveal will be used to improve the system rather than to evaluate them. 

Set a standard of performance Tell the employees involved in the incentive program the rules of the game. This is where you explain what poor behavior you are targeting and why it is important to limit or stop this behavior. The standard of performance established should be reachable.
