In the past, the main focus was on improving the
management of workplace safety, lapses which
have an immediate and tangible impact in terms
of injuries or fatalities. But even as we continue to
improve our management of workplace safety, it
is important that our management of workplace
health (WH) issues keeps apace. The impact of failures
in WH management lapses is more insidious, but
no less severe than that stemming from workplace
safety lapses.
