Safety culture has never been more important… It creates an environment where people prioritise safety as a core value and actively work to ensure that everyone is safe. It encompasses an organisation's shared values, beliefs, and behaviours and it is reflected in how people communicate, plan, and execute their work.
Specifically, safety culture:
Protects people - Helps protect personnel from harm, reducing the risk of injuries, illnesses, and accidents in the workplace.
Improves productivity - When employees feel safe and secure, they are more likely to focus on their work and perform at their best.
Builds trust - A strong safety culture helps personnel feel valued and cared for. This leads to greater trust between management and employees, as well as among coworkers.
Saves costs - Reduces the cost of accidents, injuries, and lost work time.
Enhances reputation - A demonstration of commitment to employees, customers, and stakeholders, which can enhance its reputation and brand.
