Building a culture of safety beyond a pandemic
Safety is all about people, and building a culture of safety is about instilling human behaviors that become the norm. That includes taking steps to protect workers from being infected by COVID-19, but it goes beyond this. And it is not something accomplished in a short time—typically, it takes five to 10 years. Yet positive short-term changes in processes and systems can, over time, contribute to building this culture. In this webinar, workplace safety expert Chuck Pettinger, a Process Change Leader at Fortive-owned Predictive Solutions, discusses his ongoing work with industrial companies to help build this safety-focused climate. He details the signs he sees in organizations successfully developing a culture of safety.
