Greetings, this podcast recorded on the road in Bethesda, Maryland. For this week’s podcast I’d like to share an article that was fun to write and is to me a fun topic, visible support for safety. The article was titled, “Heard It Through The Grapevine” and was published in April 2010 edition of Incident Prevention Magazine.

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!
Greetings everyone recorded this on the road in Santa Fe Springs, California. The topic this week is about an upcoming webinar, scheduled for 02 April 2010 titled, Customizing Your Own Safety Perception Survey.
A safety culture is made up of common practices, attitudes, and perceptions of risks that influence behavioral choices both at work and away from work. To begin to understand your safety culture, it is critical to recognize the current perceptions that exist within your organization, and the conditioning affect they will have on new employees.
There are standard perception surveys available; however, a one-size approach to understanding safety perceptions is never as effective as a customized approach. The webinar will outline the steps critical for you to internally design, administer, and interpret a customized safety perception survey.
Greetings, this podcast recorded in San Antonio, Texas. Both of my parents were born in San Antonio and I still have a lot of family here, including a family ranch with Texas Longhorns on it. Go figure I’m from Texas and my family has a Longhorn Cattle Ranch, who would of thought. Moreover I bet you wouldn’t be surprised to find my family runs a horse farm and my sister is a Equestrian Hunter/Jumper horse trainer. What is this a Dallas Episode? Anyways sorry for the digression, back to the topic here in San Antonio.
Wikipedia defines a black hole as “a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull. The black hole has a one-way surface, called an event horizon, into which objects can fall, but out of which nothing can come. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing...”
In a previous podcast I referred to how a black hole could apply in safety, calling this phenomenon a “Black Hole Safety System”. This is where safety information goes in and nothing comes out. For this week, Terry and I will talk about this topic in more detail. We will provide some examples of what this looks like in an organization, and steps to correct and avoid such an undesirable element of any organizational systems.
