Leadership commitment to safety

Departmental management and other mid-level management should participate in safety-related activities for a minimum number of hours per month, as determined by the leadership team. This involvement will reinforce the safety culture and promote individual and department commitment to safety. These activities help create a positive safety environment and demonstrate leadership commitment to safety. 

Specific measures of safety climate vary, but a common underlying theme is leadership commitment to safety. The underlying logic is that leadership commitment to safety is often manifested in visible support in the form of resources and programs. This support results in positive perceptions of organizational commitment, which affects how people perform in the working interface.
