This document discusses how developing a strong safety culture can benefit a company. It explains that a safety culture predicts better safety performance by building trust, making safety the top priority, and ensuring employees value safety. This impacts companies positively by reducing accidents, injuries, costs, and turnover while improving productivity. A case study highlights how one mechanical contractor saw significant reductions in its experience modification rate and workers' compensation costs after implementing a robust safety culture program through management commitment, training, and accountability measures. Developing a formal safety program is key to starting a safety culture.
• Define the concept of culture and its impact on individuals, groups and organizations.
• Describe the various cultures that impact individuals, such as national, professional and organizational culture and explain the difference between them.
• Understand and explain the importance of a positive organizational culture for the success of the safety management system.
• indicate the importance and measures of management commitment.
Establishing and fostering a safety culture has, quite rightly, become a more prominent topic to consider for safety directors. No matter the industry or organization, it is now commonly accepted that safety culture can have a huge influence on the success or failure of a safety management system.
Safety culture is not a program, policy or procedure, it is a reflection of how safety is managed in a workplace. However, it is often difficult to pin down, as it is a somewhat ethereal concept, based on soft components that cannot be easily measured – factors such as accountability, leadership and organizational learning.
This difficulty is at the heart of many safety directors’ struggle – how do you pinpoint your organization’s current safety culture? Which activities are having a positive or negative effect?
In this presentation, Shannon Crinklaw defines safety culture and provide suggestions and ideas around how to recognize and foster a strong safety culture within your organization.
Watch this webinar and learn:
How safety culture can be broken down into components
The different ways that it can be (indirectly) measured
Steps that managers should take to improve it
How using Medgate to automate some safety activities assist in building a safety culture
Learn what is critical to creating a culture of safety in your organization. These 7 keys based on the science of behavior analysis and positive reinforcement will provide the foundation for a sustainable, effective safety system.

PREVENT WORK-RELATED INJURIES
Behavior-based safety is based on the theory that most accidents at workplaces can be prevented with the right behavioral analysis and training. Minor errors and oversights are often left unreported and thus can lead to major accidents if the causes for the incidents are not addressed.
Improve employee safety with our presentation on Behavior-Based Safety:
http://www.presentationload.com/behavior-based-safety-powerpoint-template.html
The BBS approach examines which behaviors and organizational circumstances led to accidents. By knowing this, you can inform employees about safe behavior at the workplace and implement Behavior-Based Safety in your company.
This template not only contains images with background information on occupational safety, but also a series of graphs with statistics and figures on the subject as well as a useful icons toolbox.
Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) and EU-OSHA recently explored the meaning of an organisational health and safety culture together during a benchmark event on 5th and 6th June 2013.
Peter Carlsson, Vice President Production Powered Trucks at TMHE, and Dave Mason, Head of Global Health and Safety at Electrocomponents, define the main points that make a company’s culture and the roles that the Toyota Production System (TPS) and employee engagement play in it.

The risks for occupational accidents and diseases at work have to be managed by the employers and workers who are facing with them. In order to ensure effective action, it is essential to establish occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems at all workplaces for continual improvement of working environment and preventive measures. The ILO and ISO guidelines on occupational safety and health management systems provide guidance for action at the national and enterprise levels. Understanding the benefits of safety culture, behavior, performance metrics, health and safety policy, programs and procedures, training and education, and other requirements provide opportunity to reduce risk, limit liability, provide opportunity for cost savings and profitability, improve performance and productivity, and prosperity.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

At ProActive Safety Services we believe that building a strong Safety Culture is the key element in preventing workplace accidents and injuriesIt's been estimated that employers pay almost $1 billion per WEEK in direct costs related to workers' compensation. What's even more astounding is according to the National Safety Council, the indirect costs exceed the $1 billion mark to a tune of $4 billion per week! With these facts in mind, we need to educate the very people in charge of their company's workers' compensation and safety programs. Many of these individuals are aware only of the direct costs proceed to next slide:
Culture vs. Enforcement You don’t want to be a safety Cop – but you have to start with enforcementIt is important to establish that unsafe working behaviors will not be tolerated – employees start being safe for themselves not because there is a policy.Visible Executive commitmentCompany Policies – educating your employees on those standardsDisciplinary Program – a solid fair program In extreme cases you may have to cut ties or remove them from a leadership with a productive employee to set the tone. Mike Farley exampleThe key is to implement an employee owned safety program - Integration of Safety Priorities – Safety must be the dominant charachteristic of all high risk industries – Safety cannot be treated as an adjunct to the strategic decision making process but must be front and center and implemented on all levels of the organization. Your Employees will:Develop an attitude of looking out for themselvesAre thinking about finishing the job safelyTake respsonsibility for their actions instead of relying on other people to keep them safe Have a raised level of employee awareness towards hazardsResults in higher employee moraleLower injury frequency – which can translate into BWC savingsMinimize risk of OSHA violationsConveys to your employees that you care about their well being
Developing a strong safety culture has the single greatest impact on accident reductionknowing the impact a safety culture can have on your company, developing and practicing your culture should be a top priority for all companies and their managersObservation comes from OSHA and is confirmed by independent researchFewer at-risk behaviors, lower accident rates, low turn-over, low absenteeism, lower Workers Compensation Costs and higher productivityMost times they are companies who are extremely successful; excelling in all aspects of business and excellenceSafety will play an integral role in your daily operationsManagers will demonstrate their commitment to safety Workers will take ownership of their safetyCreating a safety culture takes time. It’s frequently a multi-step process. A series of steps your company follows to create the desired effectBottom line, safety is a good business decision
Why Should I promote a Safety Culture?Identifies your business as a company with values. This will promote a positive outer marketing appearanceUltimately leads to recognition from outside entities which will lead to positive publicityRadiates company pride throughout the organizationSpeaks volumes to your customers -(one less thing that they have to qualify you for)Builds moral through the constant celebration of improving your safety goals
Depending on your company you may be on a state funded workers compensation plan or with a private self insurance providerWhen self insured the employer is usually responsible for a portion of the medical costs associated with an accident or an injury up to a certain amountOSHA may fine you when and injury or accident occurs – depending on severity (only certain injuries require OSHA notification)Your investment in your health and safety program if spent wisely, can help you save on indirect costs associated with your safety and health programHealth and Safety program incentives often increase awareness and help reduce accidents, near misses and injuries
Indirect Loss of TimeNew employees must be hired and trained to replace those disabledEmployees lose time handling spoiled material and repairing damaged equipmentEmployees have to prepare reports or attend hearingsReallocating work or revision of work scheduleContingent CostsInability to fill orders after a major accident such as a fire or an explosionFailure to maintain production when an accident has caused damage to resourcesLoss of good will of employees who don’t wish to work where injury is likely or possibleLoss of public good will when any operation has a poor safety recordIncreased cost of insurance as affected by type of frequency and severity of lossesDirect Loss of TimeAbsence of injured employee while receiving treatment at first aid or physician’s officeExtended Absence of more seriously injured employeesMalingering following an injury either major or minorDistraction of employees and officials from their work when accidents occurNecessary assistance given to injured employees at time of injuryDepartmental demoralization after an accident occursDamage to Equipment and Waste of MaterialBy injured employees at time of accident By employees distracted from work as result of an accident or injuryDuring training of new employeeDamage to tools and equipment often without injury to employeeRenting temporary or subcontracting work to othersIncreased OverheadResources out of service due to accident or injuryDecreased production of resources that have been injured or damagedDecreased production due to inexperienced employeesDecreased production of resources at the time of accident or injuryDecreased production due to low moraleIncreased unit cost due to non-productive resourcesThese costs are in addition to payments for compensation insurance, special medical expenses not covered by insurance, benefit systems, and any wages paid injured employees
Here is an example of how even a small injury can cost your company in the long run!All data is taken from OSHA’s Safety Pays calculator
Be sure to highlight the tremendous cost associated with the indirect expenses. Point out the total amount of sales required to cover the injury
Executives demonstrate their commitment to safety by: attending and leading weekly safety meetings completing 30 hours of OSHA Outreach Training sponsor and support safety incentive programs offered by their safety department providing budget dollars for safety and hiring a Director of Health and Safety supporting and implementing the recommendations of the Director of Health and Safety Established safety hotline to report unsafe practices accidents, injuries, and near misses Provide Safety Specialists for each region to perform Jobsite Audits, assist with Job Hazard Analysis, accident investigations, hazard communication, and personal protective equipmentManagement demonstrates their commitment to safety by: Leading weekly safety meetings Completing 30 hours of OSHA outreach training Encouraging all employees to think about their safety before performing any taskWorkers take ownership of their safety in the workplace Safety committee established and only non management personnel are allowed to be involved in the committee Every employee is required to complete 10 hours of OSHA outreach training Employee performance goals are tied Safety Employees encourage each other to work safely.
