Five Steps To Safety Success

Leadership

In every aspect of organizational life, leaders determine what gets done and how. Sustainable improvement in safety requires that leaders at all levels create a strong organizational culture for safety excellence.

Organizational Culture

Culture represents the shared values and beliefs that drive behavior in an organization. It is commonly characterized as “the way we do things around here.” Leaders constantly shape culture by their decisions, priorities and approach to problem solving.

Safety Enabling Systems

Enabling systems are basic safety mechanisms that ensure adequate safety functioning. Though classified by different organizations in different ways, they generally include hazard recognition and mitigation, training, regulations, procedures and policies.

Sustaining Systems

Organizational sustaining systems maintain and assure the effectiveness of safety enabling systems. Typically, they include selection and development activities, performance management, organizational structure, employee engagement and other management systems.

Working Interface

The working interface is where employees interact with the organization’s technology to get the work done. It is where exposures to hazard exist or could exist as a consequence of the combination of equipment, facilities, systems, and employee actions.
