Overview
Safety culture is often referred to as 'the way things are done around here'. It's a combination of the attitudes, values and behaviours held within an organisation, as well the management systems and procedures that influence how something is really done, rather than how it should be done.
Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents and personal injuries, and can just as influential on safety outcomes as the organisation's safety management system itself.
This course adopts a holistic approach to health and safety cultural improvement, incorporating HSE's 'Achieving Safety Culture Excellence Now and Tomorrow' (ASCENT) programme.
Learning outcomes
Delegates will be provided with information that will help them to:
- Building a business case and getting senior management buy-in
- Programme planning and communication
- Gathering and using different data
- Engaging with staff
- Prioritising and evaluating interventions
What the course will cover
This course, delivered by HSE and industry experts, provides delegates with an understanding of the many factors that influence both workers' and managers' attitudes to safety and how these may be enhanced.
It differs from other courses on this topic by demonstrating how behaviour change, leadership and worker engagement can be incorporated into the wider health and safety management system to ensure an integrated, and therefore more effective, approach to risk management.
Who should attend?
This course is most appropriate for health and safety managers with limited knowledge/experience of safety culture who are intending to implement a safety culture enhancement programme within part or all of their organisation.
