Safety Culture Assessments: Building a Foundation for Continuous Improvement
Creating a workplace that prioritizes safety is not just about meeting regulatory standards; it’s about fostering a culture where employees feel empowered to prioritize their well-being and the safety of those around them. Safety culture assessment is crucial in achieving this goal, providing organizations with valuable insights into the prevailing attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions of safety. As per the study conducted by the National Safety Council, companies with good safety cultures have 70% fewer accidents than those with weak safety cultures. This highlights how crucial it is for organizations to develop a strong safety culture.
