It can be suggested that a consequence of this focus on Brand Zero has produced a depersonalisation of health and safety management. Within a project or organisational context, one individual alone is not able to prevent all accidents it requires shared practice if only because of the logistical and physical demands of the site.

Within the workplace, operational management at all levels has a responsibility to identify, evaluate and control risks that are likely to result in injury, damage or loss. Part of these responsibilities should involve implementation of a regular programme of safety inspections of the work areas under their control. These inspections should include physical examinations of the workplace - i.e. the nuts and bolts - and also the systems, procedures, and work methods - i.e. the organisational aspects.
