An often‐overlooked piece to be implementing an OHSMS is the extent to which organizational culture needs to be addressed prior to the development and formal rollout of the initiative. Examples of aspects of the culture that need to be addressed are;

 establishing objectives and clarity about why the OHSMS is being implemented;

 learning about problems or failures with past initiatives;

 determining potential resistance and stakeholder concerns.

It is common that some degree of organizational enrollment or internal selling is needed for successful OHSMS implementation. Reasons for this range from general resistance to new things to concerns about more work from documentation, auditing and potential certification needs. In some cases, there are concerns from organized labor about diminished focus on regulatory compliance. Early in the implementation process, concerns should be identified and addressed by leadership and the implementation team.
