Question 1. Describe the responsibilities of the front-line worker in an organization that uses a management systems approach to safety and health. How do the responsibilities of his or her supervisor and higher management help him or her to succeed?

Question 2. Why are the behavioral-based safety management techniques not congruent with a management systems approach to worker safety and health?

Question 3. Distinguish between the concepts of accountability and responsibility in the context of a safety management systems approach. How are these concepts related?

Question 4. Discuss to what extent you think the management systems approach requires a greater level of trust in the front-line worker from management. How do you think workers would respond to this?

Question 5. Do you think it is reasonable to give front-line employees the responsibility to influence their own environments to succeed in the area of occupational safety? Do you think front-line employees are, or would be ready to, step up and take on that responsibility? Is it reasonable to assume that supervision and management should step up to provide front-line employees with the tools, resources, and opportunity to take on this responsibility?

Response must be 200 words in length each of question.
