• Gaining commitment of management
• Promoting health and safety standards by leadership and example and appropriate use of disciplinary procedures
• Competent workers
• Good communication within the organisation:
> benefits and limitations of different methods of communication (verbal, written and graphic)

> co-operation and consultation with the workforce and contractors, including:
– benefits of worker participation (including worker feedback)
– the role of health and safety committees
• When training is needed:
> induction (key health and safety topics to be covered)
