Section 1 Description Text
Successful safety cultures are led from the top, where your actions and attitudes send a message to the people who work in your business that you are serious about their health and safety.
Effective safety management in a workplace requires an involvement from everyone to make it safe. To do this successfully, people need to understand their responsibilities and how they can meet them.
Employers can help develop a good safety culture by:
- talking with the people who work in the business about safety related issues
- developing and implementing safe work procedures
- training the people who work in the business on safe work practices
- making sure tools, plant and equipment are safe to use, regularly serviced and maintained in good working order
- supplying workers with appropriate safety equipment for the job
- leading by example.
