Leadership plays a crucial role in enhancing Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) in a workplace, promoting healthy and safety-centric culture for employees. Among the techniques for expressing leadership commitment to OH&S are effective communication, hazard identification and a data-driven approach to decision-making. A successful OH&S strategy also involves worker involvement, frequent improvements and integration of OH&S into business procedures. A comprehensive OH&S policy further illustrates an organisation’s commitment. Involvement contributions from workers, clear role assignments and a commitment to ongoing communication and training are also pivotal to OH&S implementation.
