Cross-functional teams P4
CFTs provide the best and only integrative approach to effectively managing safety, health and the
environment (SHE) in the workplace. Such teams are multi-disciplinary in nature, because the members
come from different professions or disciplines that convene to produce the best available solution to any
SHE challenge in the workplace. CFTs are purpose driven and do not function beyond the scope of the
challenge for which they need to find a solution. Below are the professions or disciplines of a CFT:
Line Manager

final decisions on the nature of programme elements, implement the programme and evaluate its outcome.

facilities.

equipment, with the aim of limiting energy release at the source.
