4. Don’t take your eye of the ball
• Most organisations don’t consciously ‘ignore’
risks at the expense of ‘profit’
• But a heavy ‘business’ focus often leads to a
de-focus on risks & other controls
• Particularly relevant during difficult times
• Pressure to cut costs
• Pressure to do everything quicker, faster,
cheaper, so something has to give?
• Often what is seen as ‘discretionary’ and not
part of ‘the way we do business round here’

5. What ‘button’ will be chosen?
• Senior people need to understand what ‘button’
will be pushed when people have a choice
• Just doing the minimum & focusing on legal
compliance may not be sufficient
• What message is being sent to your employees,
sub-contractors, supply chain?
• Has it changed during difficult times?
• Have people been asked ‘for more, for less’?
• Has risk management taken a back seat?

9. What is actually going on?
• Do you know what is actually going on in
your business?
• Would it be what you expect?
• What ‘buttons’ are being pushed now?
• Is H&S a core consistent value and business
component?
• Have you assessed ALL your risks using an
integrated in-depth process?
• Is H&S viewed as part of Enterprise Risk
Management?
• Do you identify underlying accidents causes?

14. H&S adding value?
• Is H&S seen as an enabler, with a business and
commercial focus?
• Or a blocker and legally compliant focused?
• Is H&S integrated into the business at all levels?
• Do your core values & business focus mean
that H&S is not discretionary?
• Is H&S under pressure due to difficult times?
• Is something about to give?
• If you ‘say’ H&S is discretionary, then your
people will react accordingly
