The Government realized the need to add proactive
OSH management methods to the conventional reactive
OSH management, which emphasized compliance
with legislation. The proactive methods required the
development of OSH management systems within
enterprises to reduce the reliance on individual
competencies to ensure good OSH performances. OSH
Management Systems (OSHMS) and Risk Assessments
were the two key tools to realise this. The impact of these
tools is illustrated in Figure 12. Although factors such
as motivation of employers are not controlled, OSHMS
and Risk Assessment are found to be effective to reduce
accident rates.
