But the whole philosophy of a safety management system is to encourage everybody in the company, all employees, to report problems. The company must have established a system where it's a non-reprisal environment, so people are encouraged to report issues without the fear of any kind of reprisal. This is very important in the implementation of a safety management system, because what you want to see is an increase in reports of defective equipment or of safety issues. You want to see those numbers increase so that they can be fixed by management.
If the company takes reprisal action—fires people or gets rid of people as soon as they report something—you won't see any reports coming after that.
