Building a Safety Culture

Building a Safety Culture

Safety comes down to this: does your management team build a culture of well-being?

A safety culture creates an environment for employees to raise concerns about equipment, training issues, or strategies they fear may place workers or patrons at risk. Part of building this culture is encouraging the reporting of accidents and “near misses.” A close call warns you of a problem in your organization. That problem may be human error, lack of training, faulty equipment, or even substance abuse.

By analyzing the root cause of any incident, even a near miss, management can take steps to prevent a similar incident. When employees feel empowered to correct problems, you’ll notice improved morale and increased job safety buy-in from your employees.

A safety culture also reflects well on your organization when it comes to underwriting both workers compensation and liability insurance. Insurers are more open to providing good terms and rates to businesses that put safety first.
