Topic Overview:

Before a safety culture can be developed, both leaders and teammates need to buy into and be motivated to do it. With this, we need to become experts at selling safety and explaining why it is so important. Next, we need to lead the pursuit, developing the safety communications, training, and validation processes to ensure we are sending the right messages, increasing knowledge and engagement, and validating that safety work practices are happening. Finally, we need to celebrate this culture with recognition, incentives, and fun events that keep our teams motivated and enthusiastic to continually improve the culture.
Importantly, we also need to accomplish a safety culture with constrained time availability, budgets, and personnel. Once achieved, we’re able to truly celebrate safety as a valid and reliable part of our operational workflow and culture.  

Objectives:
1.   Identify major selling points of developing a safety culture.
2.    Ascertain proactive safety program components that are controllable, realistic, and
achievable.
3.    Determine ways to incentivize safety and make it fun to continue building motivation and
enthusiasm.
