Zusammenfassung:The author's career in workplace safety began in 1984 in the Marine Corps. One of his many duties was to ensure all Marines in his organization attended a mandatory driver improvement program before reaching their 26th birthday. Though not a difficult program to manage, it did prove to be a tedious one. Seventeen years later, he was back teaching safety courses to the Marines and realized these future safety managers were having some of the same safety problems he had experienced almost two decades before. The problem was not the rules and regulations established to manage the program. There was a lack of leadership supporting the safety managers. There always was an excuse why an individual could not attend training-but the leadership would be the first to criticize the safety manager when this individual was denied driving privileges for not attending the course.
