The advanced concept on industrial safety is prevention. In an environment where machine, man and nature are incorporating to produce a product there is possibility that things go wrong. The art of management is to mitigate such events. This process needs education and management. The work process and risky zones needs to be identified and dealt with, but this is not an easy task. The safety precautions might affect production and slow down the job. The managers mainly don't like it. But safety could improve productivity and prevent budget overrun.
Any industrial company needs safety department. It should work just under CEO to show the importance. No aspect of their business should need authorization from any subdivision. Now comes the main subject and question. Who is responsible for safety and risk management in this field? is it head of "Safety"? the right is:CEO. This is his task to ensure safe environment in work place. Safety man works on his behalf.. This is the key issue neglected.
