Make your business go further
An Environment of Trust, Respect and Dialogue
First and foremost - responsibility for a safe work-environment lies with you and your colleagues, but....
The good news is that I can help you to achieve that safe work-environment goal. Through my experience in dealing with Health & Safety management systems as well as leadership development, I have the insights to to help you to create and maintain a safe workplace. I do this by focusing on the two main elements that I think are essential: systems and people.
-
Systems and processes need to be in place to ensure all hazards are identified, and controls are in place to mitigate those hazards (see diagram)
-
The workplace culture needs to be such that it that fosters a safe working environment, for example through:
-
Having a workplace community spirit that encourages everybody to look after each other
-
Having an engrained belief that injuries can be avoided
-
Taking responsibility for own and other's safety
-
A trusted environment where it is OK to speak up
-
And many more elements that touch on leadership, responsibilities, trust and safety awareness.
