safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and the
severity of work-related injuries and illnesses. Effective management addresses
all work-related hazards, including the potential hazards that could result
from a change in worksite conditions or practices. Additionally, it addresses
hazards whether or not they are regulated by government standards.
