You have learned a lot thus far about lean approaches to safety and health in the workplace. In this assignment, please find an article on lean approaches in general (not related to safety) to review. In reviewing this article, please reflect on how the applications described align with lean safety management practices you have covered thus far in the course and to what extent you believe an organization that utilizes lean manufacturing processes might be more or less successful in implementing lean safety management techniques. What role would cultural momentum (an existing culture that already embraces lean) play in that success?
