Building A Safety Culture

Sarah Hornik writes about changing employee behavior to improve safety in the August 11th issue of Industrial Safety & Hygiene News. The article opens with the statement:

"Building a safety culture in your organization does not happen overnight. At the root of a safety culture is behavior, and changing human behavior requires education. Changes occur on two levels: getting the individual to stop doing some things and getting the individual to start doing other things."

The article points out the people don't like to change and that employers must provide the motivation, training and leadership that results in change.
