Executive Summary
Despite decades of investment in safety management systems and new technologies, there has been limited improvement in serious injury and fatality (SIF) outcomes. This has prompted practitioners to focus increasingly on improving safety culture. This report provides actionable guidance on how safety practitioners can influence firms’ approach to safety. It finds that the most effective safety cultures are generative and interdependent, with the entire workforce empowered to take ownership of safety. The report explores how safety practitioners can engage employees at all levels to become safety leaders, ensuring that safety is embedded across the workforce, rather than owned solely by the safety function. It also examines the frameworks, technologies and organizational contexts that can support this shift.About the Authors
