As you think about these concerns, start by taking a look at yourself, and after that work down through your leaders.

As a basic guideline, do I state what works much better for me, instead of what holds true?
Exists something I understand is bothersome to state, however it should be stated, and I can state it?
Do my WHS conferences and conversations embody and motivate reality?
Do I model self-protective lying (and for that reason motivate the very same from my group)?
Do our WHS procedures pass the dollar? Do we design the avoidance of duty instead of approval of it?
