Safety rules and regulations are literally written in blood. Workers have bled, lost appendages, and lost their lives to create today's safety rules. To not respect the rules, or worse to be an employer who doesn't commit to safety, is to say you don't care about the sacrifice.

If safety is only a management initiative, it will never become a culture. One of the biggest gaps in workplace safety today is the disconnect between what leadership says and what workers experience.

Holding leadership accountable to walk the talk—PPE on, shortcuts off. This is the key to getting a successful safety culture, without this, you will always fail.

Having an emergency plan is essential—but if it overlooks people, especially those with disabilities, it’s not complete. kevinian.com/erp-special-co…

Starting an Emergency Operations Center can feel daunting—staffing, resources, planning, and technology all come at a cost. But here’s a powerful idea: Shared responsibility. Shared resilience. #EmergencyManagement kevinian.com/essential-elem…

It's Friday , hopefully you learned something this week. Even better if it encourage action. BTW, if you grew up with TGIF, your knees probably pop when standing up.

A safety meeting is an important component of building a safety culture, it gives the front line employee a voice. Make sure you document those meetings: amazon.com/dp/B099WQZ6ZR

A safety culture is multi-faceted, it has many components, it requires buy-in from the top down. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Kevin Schmidt, LPC (@kevinianschmidt) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A positive safety culture is one where employees feel appreciated, one where safety is a positive, one where collaboration is rewarded. If you don't know how to build a positive safety culture, I have written a roadmap for you: kevinian.com/build-positive…

Let's talk about "safety", and what it means in the workplace. Is it just keeping people from immediate harm? Is it reducing risk for long term injuries? Is it more? What does safety mean to you?
