Safety Culture Excellence®

Greetings, this podcast recorded while on the road in Toronto, Ontario. After seventeen years of working on and developing safety cultures, we receive comments and questions on a weekly basis on how to assess a safety culture. A lot of people believe it can be performed solely by completing a safety perception survey. Remember perception surveys are an indicator of a safety culture, not the indicator of safety cultures.

If you really want to understand your culture, you have to properly assess it. However, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. I realized that there isn’t anything out there that properly describes how to internally accomplish an assessment of a safety culture. So based on ProAct Safety’s experience of assessing over 1,100 safety cultures, I decided to write an article on how to do just that, in seven simple steps.

The article was published in the April 2010 edition of EHS Today. It can be found either at www.EHSToday.com or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com. I hope you enjoy this reading of Assessing Your Safety Culture in Seven Simple Steps!

Have a great week!
