When walking in a workplace, I note housekeeping, look for enthusiasm work (or lack of it) because I think they are good indicators of whether they are a proactive team spirit and security. I also believe that culture starts with the attitude and behavior of management. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) defines safety culture as "the underlying principles of the organization, standards, commitments and values related to health and safety of operation and the importance of safety compared with other goals in the workplace. "Each company or entity as its own values and, ultimately, its own safety culture. This culture sets the level of risk that is in the "appetite" of the company - or how much risk they are willing to take -. whether they realize (intentional) or not (no specific direction)
If you are part of running your business, you should have an understanding of the level of risk tolerance that your business is ready to support. All levels of management should be communicating business objectives and support these objectives are achieved and maintained. But it is also important to provide guidance on how to achieve these goals. Failure to provide guidance, information on purpose, or a specific path or steps on how the objectives can be achieved can cost a company. Cost may include lower employee morale, bad decisions that are not aligned with the mission / company objectives, and lower profits / gains among other negative consequences such as injury and even loss of reputation.
According to Dave Fennell, senior adviser of security for Imperial Oil Limited, and Mike Williamsen, Senior Security Consultant with the security services Caterpillar there are factors that should be considered for risk tolerance, such as the person's ability to identify a dangerous situation and the ability of the person to understand that certain situations or actions are not safe or risky. If they are educated about the identification of a hazard or risk and they understand what could happen, then what is their decision? If the perception is that management tolerates the risk or even expects the employee to take the risk, the decision may be to take the risk. An example would be an employee who alters their electric pallet truck, so it will continue to roll as they gather product to load on their decision pallets. Williamsen and Fennell also indicate that other factors influencing the decision include the overestimation of his abilities, understanding the seriousness of the findings, personal experiences, how they are familiar with the task, the cost of non-compliance , overconfidence in protective layers such as PPE (personal protective equipment such as gloves), and the potential for profit or gain share.
Like the old saying "it takes a village to raise a child", it takes everyone on the team to "raise" the safety culture. A culture of security increases the chances that each worker can return home to their families so that less of this village is required.
