Discussion

The term "involved" means that the top manager is engaged at some appropriate level in organizational planning and evaluation relative to workplace safety and health. Some top managers may personally participate in such planning and evaluation activities. This level of involvement would be especially appropriate for the owner/operator of a very small business. In larger organizations, the top manager may simply receive and review reports and make decisions concerning recommendations. In any event, all top managers should be familiar with the safety and health planning and evaluation efforts undertaken by their organizations. This includes awareness of what has been done, who did it, what were the results, and what actions were taken in response. Review of the six planning and evaluation elements (Elements 20 through 25) provides the evaluator with specific information and issues to be discussed with the top manager during interview.
