Do-it-yourself inspections, Scandinavian style : self-inspections lead to safer workplaces and less absenteeism / by Charles Siler

Sumario: In most countries government regulators are the ones responsible for making sure that a company maintains a safe workplace. Not so in Scandinavian countries, where the rule of the day "self-regulation". The premise is that company managers and employees understand their business better than government bureaucrats or insurance adjusters, and that they know what's safe and what isn't. The system would seem to encourage corner-cutting. Often, however, companies use their freedom to develop detailed safety-and-health plants. It isn't and altruistic effort; better safety efforts can help decrease the expenses that often result from injuries and worker ailments
