People are motivated by being consulted on actions that
affect them.
People know their jobs. What safety program changes
can they bring to the work environment?
People in many cases know the safety problems and
safety solutions. Just ask.
Workers must know that final decisions are reserved for
management. But tell them Why if possible
Attitude
MOTIVATION CHANGES ATTITUDE
AND
ATTITUDE DRIVES BEHAVIOR
When a person's attitude Changes, His or Her
behavior will typically follow, assuming He or She
has adequate knowledge of the safe working
conditions in the work environment. When you
eliminate every other reason for unacceptable
behavior, what is left will be a positive attitude.
22
Attitude
SAFETY AS PART OF THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
If a person understands that his or her safety at work
is controllable in a measurable way, acceptance of the
safety culture as an essential part of the work
environment will be increased. Safe attitudes and
behaviors will naturally follow.
AND!
23
Attitude
SAFETY AND PEER SUPPORT
Once safe attitudes are a normal element in the
work environment, behavior will be influenced.
then, peers and co-workers expect each other to
practice safety as a Part of Work and Not a
Requirement of Work.
When this moment occurs The Safety Culture is
Born.
At this point co-workers will Expect each other’s
protection and accident rates will decrease.
24
Attitude
SUSTAINING SAFE BEHAVIOR
Management is responsible for promoting a safety
culture, and everyone is responsible for
sustaining a safety culture. Attitude is the key to
sustaining a safe work environment.
