Embedding a True Safety-First Culture
When safety becomes a shared value among all employees, the benefits are far-reaching – not only from an ethical point of view but in terms of reduced accidents, increased productivity, improved morale, and enhanced retention rates. Yet, many organisations struggle to embed a safety culture into daily operations, as top-level policies often fail to resonate with frontline employees.
This webinar will offer practical strategies to help you instil a ‘safety-first’ mindset, making health and safety a core value across your organisation.
14 November, 1.00 pm - 2.00 pm
What's on the agenda?
Creating a positive safety culture, where everyone actively participates in health and safety, helps you to meet your duty of care and provides a safer working environment that protects your employees from harm. It’s not just about reducing accidents – a positive safety culture is proven to improve productivity, driven by a motivated and engaged workforce.
This webinar will explore strategies to improve and sustain a positive safety culture in your organisation. Starting with how to appraise your culture, we’ll conclude with practical measures you can implement.
Hosted by Nick Wilson, Director of Health & Safety Services, and Andrew Hall, Senior Client Manager and Health & Safety Lead, this free 60-minute session will cover:
- What is safety culture and why is it important? We’ll begin by defining safety culture and outlining the characteristics of organisations with strong safety cultures.
- How to measure your current safety culture: Learn the most effective ways to assess your organisation’s current safety culture, including processes for identifying factors that can either support or hinder a safety-first approach.
- Different types of safety cultures and barriers: Employees are essential to promoting and maintaining a positive safety culture. We’ll explore different types of safety culture and discuss the common barriers to achieving one, along with tips to overcome these challenges.
- Compliance versus genuine safety: Discover how to go beyond compliance to create a truly embedded safety-first culture, even across multiple sites. We’ll cover the difference between meeting safety standards and making safety an inherent part of your organisation’s DNA, with the ultimate goal of becoming a “generative” organisation.
- Key resources from the HSE: We’ll introduce essential Health and Safety Executive publications like HSG48 and HSG65, which can guide your journey towards a robust safety culture.
- Engaging all stakeholders: Health and safety should be a priority for everyone, from senior leaders to frontline employees. We’ll share practical tips to foster a safety-first mindset across all levels of your workforce.
