Is Your Safety Program Under RAPPs?
Occupational Health & Safety: Today, so many companies are looking for that "secret recipe" to success. We have all seen programs come and go, whether behavior based, committee driven, or metric measured (stats), these programs have done well to engage safety throughout industry. But what does it take to move forward, to push the envelope, to attain your company's goals? In the last 25 years what have we learned? Simple! That there are three glaring aspects of any safety program that must be dissected, defined, and disseminated throughout an organization for any level of success to be attained.

Having a clear and defined safety program is always very important but it's often one of the things we ignore and push to the side in the theatre world. You have to constantly remind yourself and the people around you that safety is a team effort. Having a clear model to follow isn't a bad way to remind yourself and the people around you. RAPP is easy enough to remember.
Deeply engrained should be the belief that operating safely results in a marketable advantage. As such, we will responsibly manage our processes and products demonstrating our commitment towards health, safety, and environmental stewardship
I think this bit from the article is really important. You can have all the programs created and in place but unless it is important to the environment and culture of the place it won't be on everyone's radar. You have to have the interest of safety deeply engrained in the collective culture to have it be really useful.
