Major accident always portray bad image to the company’s standard of practices. More importantly accidents always mean lost of production, thus creating higher costs and may result in lost time injury (LTI) with much negative implications. Accidents are found to occur when workman ignores company’s safety procedure, acting dangerously to cause harm.  Traditional Safety Management (TSM) focuses on efforts to improve engineering and workplace environment. It utilizes authoritarian management models that rely on hierarchical structures, formalization of rules and procedures, and policing workers to ensure those rules are in place and fully enforced.

This method was found to be sufficiently adequate to address a majority of safety-related problems found at most workplaces, and was responsible for many significant improvements made in managing safety issues over the years. It managed to successfully reduce the number of unsafe workplace conditions and curtailed the development of some severe accident potential behavior in workers.
