Underlying Principles
 

6. Encourage employee involvement to help the work organisation, environment and candidates.

  • Many studies, particularly those based toxic release inventory in the USA, demonstrate the key role employee involvement can play. The most dramatic improvements in toxic waste reductions are made by employee participation through formal consultation systems. The best resource for investment is skills' capacity of the workforce. The environment provides the ideal media for discovery based methods active learning.

7. Apply preventative approach based on the Precautionary Principle.

  • Using the new skills of environmental risk assessment should enable environmental practitioners to promote preventative approaches, like those of industrial hygiene and cleaner production. Part of this may be to apply the precautionary principle and supports the "polluter pay" principle.
