One day your Safety Officer walks into your office and tells you "statistically we are due for a fatal accident."
As the Managing Director, what do you do?
Tell him to go away for a coffe and think about the last word in his statement.
On his return, before he has chance to come back with a smart answer, ask him if all the companys CRM training and records are up to date.
Ignoring his smart answer to your initial request, and assuming that all the training & records and the companys incident & accident SOP are up to date, have an early stack, perhaps even call a company BBQ!
By these moves, you have taken all reasonable action to avoid an accident and ensured records are up to date for the inevitable post 'incident' investigation.
If nothing actually happens, at worst everything is up to date in the companys safety dept and you would appear to be a good, social, employee friendly kind of boss.
Problem is though, the fatal accident will now statistically happen to someone on the way home, pii$$ed after the BBQ
