Conclusion

For the workers, Line Managers

represent management. If the

Manager does not take Safety

seriously, those under him will not

either. On the other hand, Ifhe shows

that Safety has to be considered all

the time and if he himself does everything that reasonably can be done to

prevent accidents, workers will follow

his examples.
