Improving workplace safety cultures has been a focus of safety and health efforts for decades, but organizations struggle to sustain these efforts. Safety programs often lack a vision of success and methods to benchmark or show progress, which can result in a safety culture that is reactive or merely OSHA-compliant, failing to protect employees.
This interactive presentation uses a safety culture assessment tool to identify strategies and to help you create a path to develop a strong, high-performing, and sustainable safety culture.
