First of all I want to mention that I really liked the guest presentation. In my opinion Care management plays a significant role, especially at the present time, when business is going so fast and the process of adaptation is getting harder and harder. Based on my experiences which I collected in my company, I am easily able to talk about security management in general. But before I start to talk about the general issues I just want to introduce my company and give a little example about our Security management.

Therefore Businesses have to try and prevent any health hazards at the work place.

The way in which a business can prevent these hazards and risks is by having health and safety policies. This point leads me to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.
