Good Safety Management Practices

Topves

6.0. Good Management Practices -  Introduction

Good Management Practices are those practices – or “activities” – that will bring results. Since my website is on "safety", I will discuss Good SAFETY Management Practices but when I say that, I realize that what is good for safety may also be good for many other areas of management. 

I will keep the text limited as I have no intention to write a book. But hopefully you will get some ideas that may be helpful in your work.

Given a certain area of activity, a Good Management Practice (GMP) is a combination of what you do  and  how you do it. And periodically evaluate how the activity is carried out and what results are. And improve what you are doing if you do not get the results that you want. Individual GMP's relate to individual management activity areas and all GM P's together relate to your  management system.   

I intend to discuss the subjects below. This will take some time to complete so a number of items may not be there when you read this. The subject list below is somewhat different from the list that I provided under "my choice" of   elements for a management system, but if you would  look more closely at both lists, you will note that they more or less cover the same subjects. 

Each subject is provided with a hyperlink that will lerad you to whatever I provided on the subject.

THE principle of MANAGEMENT RESULTS

 "A manager tends to secure most effective results - through and with others - by performing the management work of planning, organizing, leading and controlling."
