VISION ZERO versus

traditional OSH-Management

OSH: leadership & business

excellence

OSH is a value

OSH: inspiring, alive & owned by all

Workers are empowered: contribute,

ideas – they are part of the solution

OSH: Risk management

OSH is a priority

OSH: prescriptions, paper work,

owned by a few champions

Worker‘s behavior & human error is

part of the problem
