Organizational Management and Safety

Numerous organizations around the world do have good safety programs. Some of them, like NASA, have suffered tragic losses on the road to an effective program and continue to leam and evolve. However, we don t have to wait for a disaster to employ effective programs. One of the 1995 winners of the Innovations in American Government, sponsored by the Ford Foundation and the John F. Kennedy School of 

Government at Harvard University, is the Maine Top 200 Experimental Targeting Program, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This is a program that encourages employers to identify in-house workplace hazards and take corrective action before they lead to injury and illness (Barr, 1995).
