Improving Safety Culture
The safety culture of an organization refers to the collective attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours of its employees with regard to safety. It reflects the organization's commitment to safety and the value it places on the well-being of its employees and the community in which it operates.
A positive safety culture is characterized by open communication, shared responsibility, and a proactive approach to identifying and managing hazards.
Employees are encouraged to report safety concerns and near-misses, and management takes swift action to address these issues. Safety is viewed as a core value and is integrated into all aspects of the organization's operations.
The basic steps to create a positive safety culture are:
- Leadership commitment: Leadership should demonstrate a visible commitment to safety by setting a clear safety policy, providing necessary resources, and being actively involved in safety initiatives.
- Communication: Open communication channels should be established to encourage employees to report safety concerns and near-misses. Management should provide regular safety training and ensure that employees understand the importance of safety.
- Hazard identification: Hazard identification should be a continuous process to identify potential hazards and risks in the workplace. This can be done through regular safety audits, risk assessments, and incident investigations.
- Employee involvement: Employees should be involved in safety initiatives and given opportunities to provide feedback on safety concerns (safety committees, safety training, safety suggestions, incident reporting, participation in safety audits etc.). This can help create a sense of ownership and responsibility for safety among employees.
- Continuous improvement: Safety initiatives should be evaluated regularly to identify areas for improvement. This can be done through regular safety audits, incident investigations, and feedback from employees.
Process Engineering may support you in the implementation of the relevant actions required to create a positive safety culture, such as:
- Conducting Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment.
- Providing training programs and workshops.
- Developing safety campaigns.
- Creating communication tools.
- Supporting on behavioural safety coaching techniques.
- Consulting the management on methods to increase the engagement and participation of the personnel.
- Reviewing documentation, programs, and policies.
- Conducting safety walks. Influence leadership to build awareness.
- Utilizing a customized safety perception survey. Conduct group and individual interviews.

Confined spaces are a common feature in various industries, from construction and manufacturing to agriculture and petrochemicals. These spaces can range from storage tanks and sewers to silos and underground vaults. While they serve essential purposes in these industries, they also pose significant risks to workers. It's crucial to understand and implement proper safety measures to protect lives and ensure compliance with regulations.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in safeguarding the health and safety of workers in various industries.
From construction sites to healthcare facilities, PPE is designed to minimize the risk of injury or illness.
Emergency planning is the course of action a company takes to minimise the effects of an incident or crisis. The main objective of emergency planning is to reduce injuries, protect the community and maintain business continuity.

A worker's chemical protection plan typically consists of several basic parts that are designed to ensure the safety and health of workers who may meet hazardous chemicals in the workplace. These parts may vary depending on the specific requirements and regulations of the workplace
What are the benefits?
The ISO 45001 is a globally recognized standard that helps organizations ensure the health and safety of their employees, as well as provide a safe working environment.
Creating an integrated management system (IMS) that aligns with the requirements of ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management) can provide a number of benefits to an organization
Mission success is achieved by making good decisions based on a foundation of sound policies and procedures that address a project’s management and execution. Key drivers in achieving this are identifying priorities, obtaining resources, delivering the program and managing finances.
Supplier quality audits are the process of verifying that each of your suppliers is adhering to both industry standards as set by the law and independent organizations, as well as your own company and brand standards.
Audits are widely recognized as a pertinent part of doing business.
Cost of quality (COQ) is defined as a methodology that allows an organization to determine the extent to which its resources are used for activities that prevent poor quality, that appraise the quality of the organization’s products or services, and that result from internal and external failures.
The way you lead your team on health and safety can determine how safe your site is to work on (and the number of accidents, incidents and ill-health cases that happen) because:
'You can't manage what you can't measure' – Drucker
‘If you don’t know where you are going, chances are you will end up somewhere else’ – Yogi Berra
Measurement has been a problem in the safety field for years. Despite analyzing the standards over and over again, it has been difficult to come up with meaningful measures of safety performance.
Η κουλτούρα ασφάλειας υπάρχει από την πρώτη κιόλας μέρα σε έναν οργανισμό. Τελικώς, η κουλτούρα ασφάλειας ενός οργανισμού είναι συνάρτηση της επίδοσης τόσο των εργαζομένων όσο και της διοίκησης.
Τα ανώτερα διευθυντικά στελέχη, οι υπάλληλοι και οι επόπτες καθορίζουν και διαμορφώνουν την κουλτούρα μιας εταιρείας.
Γιατί οι άνθρωποι δεν κάνουν αυτό που πρέπει!
Ο αντίκτυπος των προβλημάτων επίδοσης μπορεί να είναι πολύ κρίσιμος για έναν οργανισμό.
Ο ανθρώπινος παράγοντας αποτελεί το κλειδί για αποτελέσματα επίδοσης. Οι πτυχές που επηρεάζουν την επίδοση της εργασίας μπορεί να είναι η έλλειψη εκπαίδευσης ή κινήτρων, ζητήματα συμπεριφοράς και οργάνωσης κ.λπ.
Το commissioning είναι ένα σύνολο δυναμικών ενεργειών που εκτελούνται σε μια εγκατάσταση με σκοπό να επαληθεύσουν ότι κάθε ένα «σύστημα ή υπο-σύστημα» κατασκευάζεται, εγκαθίσταται και δοκιμάζεται σύμφωνα με το σχεδιασμό και τα συστήματα είναι έτοιμα για εκκίνηση.
Στους αποτελεσματικούς οργανισμούς, η Διαδικασία Εσωτερικής Επιθεώρησης Ποιότητας, Υγείας & Ασφάλειας και Περιβάλλοντος (QHSE) αποτελεί κρίσιμο στοιχείο της διεργασίας βελτίωσης και ουσιαστικό στοιχείο του συνολικού συστήματος διαχείρισης.
Οι άνθρωποι που εργάζονται σε διαφορετικές επιχειρησιακές λειτουργίες, παρά το γεγονός ότι ευθυγραμμίζονται με την αναμενόμενη κοινή επιχειρησιακή επίδοση, προσπαθούν συχνά να επιτύχουν το στόχο κινούμενοι σε διαφορετικούς δρόμους.
Οι δείκτες Leading και Lagging βοηθούν τους ηγέτες των επιχειρήσεων να κατανοήσουν τις συνθήκες και τις τάσεις των επιχειρήσεων. Είναι μετρήσεις που ενημερώνουν τους διευθυντές ότι βρίσκονται σε καλό δρόμο για την επιτυχία των οργανωτικών στόχων τους.
Σύμφωνα με τα διεθνή δεδομένα αξιολόγησης της εκπαίδευσης στην εργασία, η πλειοψηφία των εργαζομένων ξεχνά ότι έχει μάθει μέσα σε 24 ώρες από την εκπαίδευση.
Τα ευρήματα του “Employee Forgetfulness Index” αποτελούν άσχημα νέα για την εργασιακή Υγεία και Ασφάλεια.
Ποια είναι όμως η αιτία για αυτό;
