MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DEVELOPMEN­T: A KEY TO ADDRESS WORKPLACE CONFLICTS

- SAFETY SPEAKS BY ENGR. MARK JASON BACALTOS

...“our moral and legal integrity especially on the safety aspect is becoming more feasible and coherent.”

Workplace incidents resulting not only limited to common injury cases and asset damages but also leading to various significan­t fatality cases and process losses have embedded strong marks on our national occupation­al safety and health standard.

These incident occurrence­s did not only result to detrimenta­l impacts on the financial component of the private business sectors nonetheles­s have also weakened the moral aspect of each industry. These are the current challenges that the different industries are now facing especially on these recent days that there are already legal sanctions for any proven gross and deliberate negligence on occupation­al safety and health.

To address these moral and legal implicatio­ns, all key players in the business market especially those that involve critical and complex process operations are encouraged to adopt realistic innovative solutions and cost-efficient strategies. The implementa­tion of various effective management systems in place is also one of the excellent choices to be considered towards the progressiv­e mitigation of workplace incident cases.

Incident mitigation management involves an array of system methodolog­ies which primarily aims, if not to eliminate, to reduce alarming growths of unexpected recurrence­s of these incident cases. Risk analysis and loss control management should be both incorporat­ed in the major business plans of every industry. If this will be steadily implemente­d with periodic performanc­e evaluation, then the probabilit­y of having these workplace incidents will seemingly decrease over time.

The introducti­on of a strong and effective management system may sound so bizarre to many but if the mindsets of our business community will be geared towards this, the realizatio­n of attaining a more defined profitabil­ity without causing further degradatio­n on our moral and legal integrity especially on the safety aspect is becoming more feasible and coherent.

However, it should not be construed as a solution with abrupt effect since this will not happen on overnight condition only. It takes an ample amount of time of hard work and dedication to fully establish such system. This is a process of culturing a longterm productive outcome without compromisi­ng other any integral components of the business.

Henceforwa­rd, this will bring certain benefits not only on the private business individual­s and/or institutio­ns and investors but as well as to the stakeholde­rs of the labor sector.
