Creating a Culture of Consequences
Introduction
According to OSHA, safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment.
The supervisor must understand how to use consequences.
Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior. Examples of the benefits of a strong safety culture include:
- Developing a strong safety culture has the single greatest impact on accident reduction of any process.
- A company with a strong safety culture experiences few at-risk behaviors, low accident rates, low turnover, low absenteeism, and high productivity.
- While creating a stronger safety culture improves safety, it also benefits productivity, staff retention, and the overall organizational culture.
It's important to understand that successful world-class safety cultures must include effective consequences for behaviors and performance.
