5 Tips to Engage Your Associates In Your Safety Program

Why Should You Attend:

Within the occupational safety and health field there has been a moving trend from a zero-injury goal toward the development and promotion of a safety culture goal. This trend has been in transition for the past several years. A few reasons for this change is the focus upon targeted training, informational outreach, and the minimization of unsafe behaviors.

A zero injury workplace safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist within an organization. Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior. An organizations safety culture is the result of a number of factors that include, but not limited to:

• Management and employee norms, assumptions and beliefs;
• Management and employee attitudes;
• Values, myths, stories;
• Policies and procedures;
• Supervisor priorities, responsibilities and accountability;
• Production and bottom line pressures vs. quality issues;
• Actions or lack of action to correct unsafe behaviors;
• Employee training and motivation; and
• Employee involvement or "buy-in."

Creating this culture takes time, patience and dedicated resources. It is frequently a multi-year process. A series of continuous process improvement steps can be followed to create a safety culture. Employer and employee commitment are hallmarks of a true safety culture where safety is an integral part of daily operations.
