Self Assessment for Leaders and Occupational Safety and Health Professionals

International studies measuring return on investment in prevention show that every coin invested in safety, health, and psychosocial working environment yields a positive return. It is crucial for management to lead by example – demonstrating attentiveness and consistency – to cultivate a culture rooted in trust, and open, honest communication at all levels of the organisation.

Successfully implementing the Vision Zero prevention strategy demands the active engagement of everyone within the company or organisation. Ultimately, success depends on committed and determined leaders and employees.

Strong leadership is essential for safety, health, and psychosocial wellbeing in the workplace. Managers at all levels – as well as those responsible for or professionally engaged in occupational health and safety – can and should perform a self assessment of their own efforts relating to safety, health, and the psychosocial working environment.
