Providing new insight into ensuring increased safety in the workplace, no matter what the organizational style of the company, Safety by Objectives demonstrates how accountability drives better safety performance.

* Analyze and understand the corporation's individual culture
* Assess current safety systems using audits and perception surveys
* Identify the hazards that cause injuries and illnesses
* Set safety objectives and evaluate whether they have been met
* Establish rewards for meeting safety performance goals
