Industry, government, organizations Top
Management are asking the big question" How I can prevent accidents?".
Many professionals today are dealing with
management of change, which are the employees behaviors to be managed effectively. Human behaviors has been studied for centuries, but the world still looking for the same answer. In order to growth a safety culture in the workplace you need to deal with the behavior "Attitude", what are things or benefits an employee get from his employer. My experience with employees tells the big truth, employees with low morale, ethics, attitude will be experienced any kind of accidents from near miss to a fatal one.Thus, top management needs to address this issues before establish a goal of "Zero Accidents". I learned from
sychology the human produced four errors every hour, so how you can deal in the workplace with this in mind. Employees with high morale and attitude can behave safety in a role model. This look simple but is the starting point to growth a safety culture, the second is to perform an excellence self-assessment evaluation of the population, then establish the objectives and goals and finally measure the culture by implementing metrics that are achivable. Management needs to be a role model from top to line supervisors and viceversa. The global competence requires that each organization kept their best talent, but simple initiatives like rewards and
recognition of their employees, ex. letter of recognition of a well done job or task and or shake the hands as a reward is enough. Consultants recommended to invest in your employees rewards and recognition a certain amount of money, this is good but experienced tells this will be an issue if you not have a balanced program " treat everybody equal ". Lets put this perpective in USA an average accident industrial cost is around of $5,000.00 depends the outside time the employee remain and the nature of the injury or illness. The piramidal cost is sequential always. Investment in a safety culture paid, world-class recognition and the protection of life.
