Fortification of the development of occupational or workplace health and safety management can be driven with the conceptualisation of accidents. As a matter of fact, it needs to be ensured that the cause of accidents is properly identified so as to move forward to the incorporation of risk management system.  In most of the case it has been found that the firm’s effects are the basic understanding of the entire case.  If the risk is not eradicated from the organisation r the work place, the accident would be brought up thus entailing a negative consequence.  Hence, during the strategic implementation of the process, three basic steps need to be taken in to account.

As a matter of fact, the monitors should have proper communication standard with the senior management of the organisation. In terms of the entire concept may be stated with the factual description of how the plans can be executed.   With the following steps, the information and activities of the organisation can be monitored:

• Effective and authentic audit report
• Reports of ongoing hazard and proper documentation and investigation of the same
