The rank and file directly involved in the operation of a particular area though faces the day-by-day operations. The variables of accidents happening are just too large when the rank is seldom consulted especially when the person in charge of safety is a seat of the pants manager. Looking Sharp Safety review procedures and safety assessment conducted regularly are very good practices. The employee has to understand their right and the responsibility of carrying them out fairly. Bad policies Long working hours without sufficient breaks in between endangers the worker of being lethargic.
