Safety Awareness & Culture

Many companies face the challenge of creating and maintaining successful safety programs.  Such programs must include awareness training, employee recognition and incentives and personalized messages from the highest level of your management team. We understand these challenges and have over 30 years of experience in helping companies overcome them. Two of the most beneficial programs to consider are Corporate Safety and Employee Recognition programs. To ensure continuing success, both must be supported from the company’s top level management team.

Unfortunately, many corporations see “safety requirements” as a time consuming challenge in running their business. That challenge can be better addressed if a company will make “safety” a “core value” rather than a program or a requirement. A company with safety as a core value has created a safety culture, where safety is a way of life and is the first item on the agenda at every meeting, from the board of directors meetings to the daily staff meetings.  Once you establish such a culture, you will be amazed at the increased production, company profitability, reduced insurance premiums and general good health and higher morale of your workers and their families…this is a fact!

Developing and implementing a successful safety culture versus a safety program includes changing the way safety is viewed within the organization. See the table below for some of the major differences between safety requirements versus safety cultures.
