Principle of Interest in Safety

This principle states If management is interested in safety, the workforce will also be interested in safety. 

The workforce will only become interested if management shows an interest in the safety results achieved by them individually and as a group. Management must set the safety trend and help them achieve safety objectives. 

Taking action on reported hazards and deviations from standard will indicate to the workforce that management is indeed taking safety action. Reporting back on the number and nature of safety-related reports generates tremendous interest in safety. This contribntes to building a positive safety culture.
