Due Diligence 

Most noteworthy is the WorkSafe BC definition of Due Diligence relating to OHS Safety Manuals / Programs that states the following.

"Due diligence requires taking all reasonable steps to protect workers from harm. "All reasonable steps" is based on the level of judgment and care that a person would reasonably be expected to do under the circumstances. An organization that actively manages health and safety and takes all reasonable steps to protect workers from harm is being duly diligent."

However, having a safety program and a manual is not enough. Your employees are the key. They need to be drawn in and engaged. As well as being encouraged to fully participate and know that the company and management will hear their concerns about safety, even if it's just the young kid who sweeps the floors. Everybody has a part to play.
