Establishing a safe workplace requires more than PPE and policy. Training and performance management are critical, but only go so far, and all the visual cues, scrolling monitors and pithy slogans in the world won’t make your workplace sustainably safe and healthy.
Safety must be entrenched and permeate every corner of the organization. Employees need to think about safety continuously, looking out for one another and proactively identifying safety hazards and improvement opportunities.
