Critical Elements for Achieving Safety Excellence
For organizations to move from a level of good safety performance to a level of great, several elements need to become institutionalized. These elements become the building blocks for the achievement and sustainment of safety performance excellence.
Most organizations improve safety performance and cultures for five main reasons. They include legal, financial, moral and ethical, corporate recognition and a tragic event. Once the driver for improved performance is established, the organization needs to embrace various critical elements to effectively begin the culture change process.
Critical elements covered in this training include: demonstrated and visible senior management leadership, a communicated and understood safety philosophy, an effective safety management structure, line management ownership and accountability for safety performance, a supportive EHS staff, established high standards of performance, effective employee motivation, aggressive and achievable goals and objectives, deliberate ongoing
communications, ample employee training, unconditional regulatory compliance, and the use of a systematic focused approach to control injuries, incidents, and property damage.
