Safety compliance doesn't have to be looked at like the enemy and in fact safety should be looked at like a comrade, but gaining an understanding of the minimal requirements OSHA, EPA and other regulatory agencies have mandated on industry can take some time, and time in most instances can be the true enemy.

A safe facility is in most cases is a productive facility for one general reason; the folks who work on the production floor feel the management staff is concerned about their well being. The good thing is, the folks who work on the production floor can also be great assets when getting the place safety tight. They are normally the people who have first hand knowledge of equipment integral deficiencies. Using them to help make the resolution plan can pay back in many different ways, the most import way is it makes them part of the team as well as making them feel they can add value to the future of the company.
