Dear Sir,
Please help me defining a procedure for how line management can be involved in Safety.

Dear Habeeb,
Please follow the link it contains a article related to your query.
The No. 1 reason why safety programs fail is because line management is not accountable or responsible for safety performance at companies, according to Samuel J. Gualardo, CSP, a speaker at one of Tuesday''s sessions of the American Society of Safety Engineers'' Professional Development Conference at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Dear Mr.Habeeb,

Though it is felt that it is not difficult to include and make fully functional and responsible, Line Management's role in Safety, the acceptance of the responsibilities that come along with some authority are always shirked away from. To define a procedure wherein you would want to include the line management in Safety would be to start at the bottom of the flow chart. Sorry, I mean, you have to make a flow chart, wherein you would have to designate various protocols and then assign the duties and responsibilities. Before having it circulated, you have to have the Factory Manager's consent on it and then have it circulated. I am sure that within a week of action and interaction and further reaction, the complete flow chart would have to be redefined. This time the line management representing during the making of the procedure will be much easier. So go ahead and first make the flow chart. Take it as a challenge. I have been doing it since the past 27 years.

Dear All,
The involvement of the line management is OK, but the key is top management involvement.
The Top Management has to demonstrate the safety Culture.
Without top management, although the line management is became responsible, it will not help.
Thanks & Regards,
