Leadership – The Starting Point
2

How do we define a culture? A common set of attitudes, values and beliefs shared by
an organization
The way things are around here
Creating a culture
Every incident could have been avoided
No job is worth getting hurt over
Every job will be done safely
Most importantly, we believe that safety is everyone’s responsibility
“I am my brother’s keeper”
Common beliefs
Safe work cultures start with simple, common beliefs that are supported by all
employees in an organization:
4
► Assume primary responsibility for the
safety program
► Establish policies, goals, objectives and
measurements
► Push authority and accountability down
to supervisor level
5
Management responsibilities
► Know the safe work practices/pertaining to his / her job
► Accept responsibility to ensure the application of safe work practices
►Explain all applicable safe work practices
►Ensure employees are trained and competent
6
Supervisor responsibilities
Supervisor responsibilities
Consistently enforce safety
regulations
Perform daily inspections of
his/her respective work
Report / correct unsafe
conditions
Assist in incident
investigations
7
► Regardless of the type of work you are doing, do you know that you can never deviate from an established safe work procedure?
► Do you know you have the right to discuss any work assignment with your supervisor that you think is unsafe or you are unsure of?
8
Communicate responsibilitiesto your employees
►Unsafe behavior stands out
►Unsafe behavior is unacceptable
►Safe work is influenced through peer
pressure
►Consistent planning and task
execution
9
Safety culture benefits
Who should be held accountable?
►Pay attention to employees who
deviate from known safe work
procedures either before, during or
after completion of their assigned
tasks
Managers and supervisors
Employees
10
► Whenever an employee is behaving in an unsafe or unhealthy way, supervisors have a moral and legal obligation to intervene immediately
► If the employee knows the supervisor has seen the unsafe behavior and has not intervened, the employee (and everyone else watching) will think the supervisor does not regard working safely as essential
11
Accountability: Intervention
► Intervention should accomplish several goals:
► Stop an unsafe act before it leads to an incident or
illness
► Replace an unsafe behavior with a safe one
► Help employees learn to make better choices
about working safely
12
Accountability: Intervention
Point out the unsafe behavior
Get the employee to acknowledge the
safe behavior
Get the employee to suggest proper
safe behavior
13
You must intervene
Key steps in performing an
effective intervention:
Most people tend to repeat behaviors that result in positive consequences and discontinue those that result in negative consequences
Positive reinforcement is the only means available to maintain existing good behavior
Accountability: Positive reinforcement
Reinforcing safe work habits is just as important as eliminating unsafe behavior
14
There are several ways in which
supervisors can reward safe behavior
Verbal acknowledgment
Public praise
Recognition
Positive reinforcement
15
►Unsafe behavior stands out
►Unsafe behavior is unacceptable
►Safe work is influenced through
peer pressure
►Consistent planning and task
execution
