Involvement in quality management presents extended career opportunities for safety practitioners. A review of the considerable literature on quality management leads to this conclusion For paragraph after paragraph in most texts and papers, the word quality can be replaced with safety, and the premise being discussed remains sound.

There is a remarkable kinship between the principles of quality management and the principles for the practice of safety. Safety professionals involved in soundly based quality management initiatives have opportunities for professional growth and recognition beyond the usual, since that participation allows them to assist in solving problems that impact broadly on quality, productivity, and cost efQciency, as weU as safety.
