COMPONENT 4.0 SAFETY PROMOTION.
Performance Objective. Top management will promote the growth of a positive safety culture and communicate it throughout the organization.
General Design Expectations.
(1) Top management will promote the growth of a positive safety culture by:
(a) Publication of senior management’s stated commitment to safety to all employees;
(b) Visibly demonstrating their commitment to the SMS;
(c) Communicating the safety responsibilities for the organization’s personnel;
(d) Clearly and regularly communicating safety policy, goals, objectives, standards,
and performance to all organizational employees;
(e) Creating an effective employee reporting and feedback system that provides
confidentiality;
(f) Using a safety information system that provides an accessible, efficient means to retrieve safety information; and
(g) Making essential resources available to implement and maintain the SMS.
Safety promotion : is designed to ensure that employees have a solid foundation regarding their safety responsibilities, the organization’s safety policies and expectations, reporting procedures, and a familiarity with risk controls. Thus, training and communication are the two key areas of safety promotion.
Top Management has the responsibility to promote the growth of a positive safety culture. The effectiveness of an SMS program is in direct proportion to the commitment and dedication put forth by top management.
Management must provide adequate employee education and training to promote safety awareness and regularly communicate safety policy, goals, objectives, standards, and performance throughout the organization.
Additionally, management must provide a safety information system that provides an accessible, efficient means to retrieve safety information.
Safety Cultures : A safety effort cannot succeed by mandate only or strict implementation of policy. Where individual attitudes are concerned, organizational cultures set by top management establishes the tone that enhances the performance and efficiency of the entire SMS.
Cultures consist of psychological (how people think and feel), behavioral (how people and groups act and perform) and organizational (the programs, procedures, and organization of the enterprise) elements.
An organization’s culture consists of the values, beliefs, mission, goals, and sense of responsibility held by the organization’s members. The culture fills in the blank spaces in the organization’s policies, procedures, and processes and provides a sense of purpose to safety efforts.
A safety newsletter is essential to spreading safety promotion activities. They come in various styles and the content may range from existing safety concerns within the company or a particular event that happened in the industry.
