Peter Batrowny, Senior Consultant - SafeStart


Safety culture and safety climate are very closely linked—a positive safety culture and a positive safety climate are both required to improve production, quality, retention, employee engagement, morale, and ultimately reduce injuries. An organization’s safety culture defines the norms of how people act within a facility, and the safety climate is the perceived value and approach to safety. Shifting a company’s culture can be challenging, but its safety climate can be changed more easily based on circumstances that happen at the organizational level. There are six safety climate success factors that can influence the outcome reliability in safety, production and quality. Over time, these safety climate success factors can also lead to a stronger and more sustainable culture. This presentation will demonstrate how safety professionals can leverage frontline supervisors to implement safety climate activities and influence positive short-term outcomes and longer-term culture change.
