Auditing! Whether it’s internal (1st party), 2nd party, or 3rd Party, auditing at a CONSISTENT FREQUENCY is a true sign that management is committed to safety.
If the management team asks… “Does OSHA require this audit?”
This is a sign that they are not committed to the real safety of their workers, but are more concerned with satisfying a government agency.
Suppose the management team emphasizes the need for the audit and occasionally participates in the process. In that case, it is a real indication they are curious to know just how well all the controls/barriers/safeguards are functioning.
