As you mentioned in the OP, Golden Rules / Life Saving Rules / etc. have been a typical approach by many construction companies. A director of one company I know that is involved in the construction industry (but not an actual physical works company) was keen for years to develop a set of Golden Rules for the company, but it stagnated as it didn't really fit with the ethos of company as a whole... so what happened was when the push for Critical Risks emerged in the NZ Safety Industry they intertwined their Top 10 Critical Risks with a set of their Top 10 H&S Behaviors - which is similar to what @Craig Marriott mentioned above.Thanks for the feedback. Maybe they need another heading? Maybe non-negotiables is the wrong wording. Set of principles? Is this the name of them? — Lee Keighley
