Safety on a global scale: many countries, one cause
Article Abstract:
Implementing safety programs is one of the biggest challenges faced by safety managers in US multinational firms. Factors such as differences among the safety approaches of multinational firms, failure to enforce safety and health regulations in newly industrialized countries and lack of safety and health performance data can hinder the implementation of such programs. However, some multinationals have overcome these problems by setting performance-oriented goals and adopting US safety standards.
