Safety Culture
Safety culture is the way people think about, approach, and value safety at your workplace. A strong safety culture is one that everyone believes in and follows, including you, management, and employees. Your safety culture consists of three key elements: communication, hazard identification, and tracking safety performance.

What is safety culture?
Safety culture is the way people think about safety practices in the workplace. A positive safety culture shows your employees that they matter, as well as improving productivity and reducing workplace injuries. Find out more about safety culture and how you can use safe practices in your business.
Communication
Workplaces with strong safety cultures use regular and consistent communication each day. This helps keep everyone on the same page about what work needs to be done and how to get it done safely. Listening to your employees’ suggestions and answering their questions are two important components of good communication.
Hazard identification
When everyone knows how to identify hazards at the workplace, there is a better likelihood that most injuries will be avoided. Evaluate how each worker performs their job and train each employee on how to identify potential hazards.
Measuring safety
Having a safety program is critical to your business. Measuring its effectiveness is equally important. This step helps you determine how your safety efforts are working and what changes you may need to make.
