Another way of achieving a positive safety culture in an organisation is to make safety part of a supervisor's or manager's performance appraisal/bonus. I came across a scenario where a safety officer was having a scheduled safety meeting with the employees in the workplace and a manager disrupted the meeting and the meeting was suspended for some days. The reason according to the manager was because he has more pressing work in the workplace and he wanted to meet up with a deadline. Digging deep to why the manager made this decision shows the manager does not understand what safety really is and this cut across the organisation, which is bad to reputation of the organisation. One way to tackle this is to ensure all individual in the management positions to participate in a safety programme such as leadership training that develops or reflects a deeper understanding of safety and health for the organisation and passing an examination on the subject materials covered during the training. To be effective, a bonus or incentives should be attached to it such as being part of the appraisal process. This will change the safety and heath direction of the organisation and raise the importance of a safety culture.

https://lnkd.in/ecbWuB-A Establishing a coaching culture means creating an environment where learning through trying new things is encouraged, mistakes are viewed as opportunities to learn, and building strong relationships among team members is valued. Giving constructive feedback and asking insightful questions are essential elements of this culture that can unleash the potential of individuals and teams, stimulate innovation, and improve overall organizational performance. Imagine,in a construction project, a situation during a routine safety inspection where a safety officer notices a scaffolding technique that could be safer. Instead of criticizing the team of a health and safety manager turns it into a coaching opportunity. They gather the workers involved, discuss what went wrong, and brainstorm together to come up with safer scaffolding methods. This approach builds a coaching culture focused on learning from mistakes and fostering strong relationships. As a result, the construction project sees improvements in safety practices, fewer incidents, and a more collaborative and innovative safety approach overall.#buildingacoachingculture #iosh #theinstituteofleadership #blamingculture

🏗️💡 Building a Strong Safety Culture: Empowering Employees through Quality Health and Safety Training! 🚀🌟 Let's explore a crucial aspect of the construction industry that requires our collective attention: safety culture and employee engagement in safety initiatives. As construction companies strive for excellence, fostering a strong safety culture is not just a box to tick—it's a mindset that permeates every level of the organisation. At the heart of this cultural shift lies the investment in good quality health and safety training. Here's how construction companies can lead the charge in creating a safer workplace while empowering their valued employees: 🧠 Knowledge is Power: Quality health and safety training instills in employees a deep understanding of potential hazards, risk assessment techniques, and the significance of safe practices. With the right knowledge, employees become proactive champions of safety. 🌟 Lead by Example: Safety starts at the top. Company leaders must actively demonstrate their commitment to safety initiatives and participate in relevant training. When employees witness this commitment, they're more likely to embrace safety as a shared responsibility. 💬 Communication is Key: Encourage open communication channels for employees to voice their safety concerns and suggestions. Active listening and addressing safety issues in a timely manner foster trust and a sense of being valued. 👥 Involve the Team: Engage employees in safety decision-making and planning. When employees have a stake in safety initiatives, they become more invested in the outcomes and feel a sense of ownership. 🎓 Continuous Improvement: Emphasise ongoing health and safety training as part of professional development. With evolving industry standards, regular training ensures that employees stay updated on best practices. 🏆 Recognise and Reward: Acknowledge and celebrate safety achievements and contributions. Employee recognition programs inspire motivation and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Quality health and safety training is a catalyst for building a safer, more productive, and united construction industry. Join us in the journey towards a safer tomorrow.
