Effective safety procedures and behaviors are spread through an organization through the building of good relationships and safety awareness. Below are some highlights of what top safety performers do that allow them to spread the message of safety through an organization.
For your people to buy-into a safety culture they have feel like their safety concerns are heard. And they need to see that you are concerned for their safety as well.
- They know it is possible to do the job right and safely at the same time.

- They respect their boss, and participate in the change process.
- They know the key to safety is making sure people are aware of their surroundings.

- They are not afraid to ask questions
- They can clearly explain the safety procedures. Overcoming resistance to change and adapting to change are fueled by clear communications. When people are confused they are hesitant to act.
- They remember the critical five rules to communicating safety
Top safety people deal with change and face reality: Culture change is possible! It has worked for others and it can work for you and your people. Remember safety and changing safety procedures are not the problem, resistance to this reality is.
A Safety problem is one thing that is better to have heard about than experienced.

SAFETY ACCOUNTABILITY SYNOPSIS
What does safety accountability mean?
It means that you are held accountable for safety results. Your safety and the safety of your people are key components of your productivity.
Who is held accountable for safety?
Everyone should be held accountable for safety.
Why is this person the one that should be held accountable for safety?
OSHA says it’s the law; a supervisor can get sued for safety negligence. You have a moral responsibility as well. We should look out for others whenever possible.
How do you hold someone accountable for safety?
One way is in writing; accountability is in our corporate policies. We can also outline someone’s accountability verbally; we can clearly explain accountability and avoid blame distribution. Also, if you are willing to hold yourself accountable first, it becomes much easier to create accountability in others.
When do you hold someone accountable for safety?
All the time: when he or she first sets foot on the property or job site, before any incidents occur.
How do you get people to accept accountability for safety?
You have to develop a why, to get them to excel in safety by choice—because they want to, not because they have to. If you have built relationships on a strong foundation of trust and communication, you can dramatically improve people’s acceptance of accountability.
A series of conversations need to take place. This is not an overnight process. However, the first conversation may start like this:
“Our company is trying to achieve zero injuries and accidents; do you think that is possible?” Remember, what comes out of their mouth means more to them than what comes out of your mouth in this situation. Get them talking about how they can effect safety results.
How do you get people to realize that they are responsible for all of the people under their direction?
By getting them to understand the difference between accountability and responsibility. Accountability is when someone makes you accountable for the results, and responsibility is the act of agreeing to be accountable. Put another way, accountability is something someone places on you, and responsibility is something you willingly take on.
