CPWR (the Center to Protect Workers’ Rights) recently developed eight practical worksheets compiled into a booklet titled Strengthening Jobsite Safety Climate by Using and Improving Leading Indicators.
It is designed to help construction managers, safety professionals, and hourly craft workers learn about some of the important leading indicators of safety climate as well as ideas for strengthening them. There is one worksheet for each safety climate indicator identified in the workshop. For each indicator, users can assess their company’s safety culture maturity level using a scoring scale and then review and prioritize a list of ideas they might implement to improve that leading safety climate indicator:
Demonstrating management commitment
Aligning and integrating safety as a value
Ensuring accountability at all levels
Improving Supervisory Leadership
Empowering and Involving Workers
Encouraging owner/client involvement
