Culture and Workplace Safety
Everyone plays a part in the culture in their job and in building the culture (or breaking it). When it comes to safety, the value of caring about your own well-being as well as those around you builds the culture.
Actions such as following safety rules, safe work practices, and stopping work to address hazards are some basic examples of living the core value of caring about everyone’s well-being on the job.

The Ripple Effect of Safety
When discussing injuries and the importance of working safely, we often discuss how an injury would affect an individual’s immediate family or loved ones.
While this may be an effective method to provoke thought in an individual worker, the not-so-immediate effects of working unsafely need also to be discussed. There is often a far-reaching ripple effect of consequences from any incident that occurs, even if it does not result in injury.

One Safeguard Does Not Make it Safe
A lot of time and effort is spent every single day to keep workplaces incident-free and
employees healthy. There are many different challenges to address to be able to achieve
this.

Rationalizing Unsafe Choices
Making the decision to follow every single safety rule or procedure does not come naturally to us.
We constantly have to work towards making the right decisions every single day.
Many times, individuals find ways to rationalize not working safely. It is important for each worker
to recognize this error trap and address it when it arises.

Safety Related Paperwork
Safety is often associated with paperwork in many workplaces. While many employees dislike the fact that there is so
much paperwork involved in workplace safety, it is often necessary to have it.
Paperwork communicates safety requirements, describes work processes, communicates hazards, tracks near misses,
investigates losses, and serves many more purposes. It is an important part of the overall safety program at a
company.
