Foundation of Motivation

If we apply the lessons of the Hawthorne Effect to near miss incident reporting, we find the very foundation of safety motivation. Near miss incident reporting is not simply a discipline or a set of precepts that must be imposed from above. It must involve the worker, recognize the worker, and perhaps even reward the worker. 

It must be a joint effort between managment and labor, a pact willingly entered into for the greater good of the company and in the interests of the conservation of vital company assets.
