What is a Safety Culture?
“Safety Culture" includes the ways in which health & safety issues are addressed in the workplace.
Safety Culture includes attitudes, beliefs, perceptions & values that employees hold or believe regarding health & safety in the workplace.
Very simply put, it is "the way we do things here."
What to Consider
Ideally, all staff members would work together to create a Safety Culture. However, there are many things that may prevent this from happening. These include;
- Existing beliefs currently held by all staff
- Employee & Management attitudes towards workplace safety
- Existing company policies, procedures & on-site rules
- Workplace pressures
- Attitudes towards fixing unsafe situations
- Employee Training - Some or None
- Staff involvement in wanting to create a Safety Culture
- Motivation Levels
- Committment to development of a safer & healthier workplace for all staff
Why not organise your staff to attend a Behavioural Safety Awareness Training Course with Annbrook Safety Training.
