o Are employees provided adequate resources in support of their involvement. "
o Are employees educated and trained so that they have the knowledge and skills required to actively participate, make suggestions or otherwise contribute? "
o Is adequate time provided for involvement in safety committees and other activities? "
o Is management leadership evident through their involvement in safety? "
o Are workloads reasonable? (Employees can get involved in safety without jeopardizing other responsibilities) "
o Do employees suffer any negative consequences as a result of their involvement? "
o Does recognition occur more often than discipline?
