GettyImages-2022179475 (1)Join us for a free, hour-long, knowledge-sharing webinar presented by HSE and industry experts, where we will delve into the essential components of fostering a strong safety culture within your organisation.

Time: 10:30am (1 hour)

Platform: An 'open-to-all' browser-based platform, collaborating with Western Business Media who publish Health and Safety Matters Magazine.

Organisations have a legal duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage health and safety. In the implementation of these arrangements, employers should consult with their employees. Effectively managing for health and safety is not just about having an organisational management or a safety management system. The success of whatever process or system is in place still hinges on the attitudes and behaviours of people in the organisation (this is sometimes referred to as the 'safety culture'). The advice given in the webinar will reflect the areas that HSE will consider when assessing the effectiveness of your arrangements.

What is included in the webinar?

You will:

  • learn how to successfully and sustainably improve safety culture
  • watch a demonstration of the HSE Safety Climate Tool and see how it can benefit your organisation
  • hear from James Bird of Kier Transportation on how Kier has effectively utilised the Safety Climate Tool to improve safety culture

Agenda

HSE Presenter

Topic

Chris Austin, Head of Training at HSE

Chris welcomes you to this insightful and valuable online seminar.

Phoebe Smith, Principal Human Factors Scientist at HSE

Key factors to consider when building a robust safety culture

Poor safety culture has contributed to many major incidents and personal injuries. Phoebe will highlight how to make improvements by adopting a holistic approach to health and safety cultural improvement incorporating HSE's ASCENT - 'Achieving Safety Culture Excellence Now and Tomorrow' programme.

Carl Whitman, Tool specialist at The Stationery Office (TSO)

The HSE Safety Climate Tool

This tool delivers an objective measure of your 'safety climate' - how your employees experience your safety culture. Using a simple, online questionnaire, it explores your employees' attitudes and perceptions in key areas, anonymously. This is a significant starting point for any organisation looking to continually improve and raise standards.

Carl will share some of the questions from the tool and benchmarking data from organisations across the UK, showing where safety culture challenges and successes are common in specific industries.

James Bird, Head of Strategic Risk and Behavioural Safety at Kier Transportation

Building Safety Culture in to a successful Health, Safety and Wellbeing Strategy

Kier Transportation started their safety culture journey in 2018, asking the question "What can we do proactively to make our workplace better for employees". In a comprehensive programme of work, Kier have engaged with their workforce to improve safety culture sustainably. James will show you how they did it.

Phoebe Smith and Chris Austin
