Are you confident that your workforce will always make
the safe choice?
Despite plans, procedures and systems, people can, and do, make
mistakes.
HSE has investigated every major industrial accident over the
last forty years. We share the unrivalled insight and experience
this gives us with organisations, helping them to better understand
their workplace safety culture and showing them how they can make
their workplaces the safest in their industry.
With our help you can benefit from:
- reduced injury
- improved worker health and wellbeing
- confidence that you are doing everything possible to avoid
accidents
- less unplanned and expensive production downtime
- avoidance of financial and personal costs, and the reputational
damage arising from litigation
Can I really change an individual's
behaviour?
YES - and we will work in partnership with you to do this.
Our "Make it Happen" model will help you to
promote healthier and safer behaviour amongst your workforce and
management by tackling multiple influences on behaviour to achieve
positive culture change.
By working pragmatically and flexibly, and tailoring our
solution to your specific needs we ensure that you obtain value for
money.
We will help you to identify and then address strategic
challenges in these core areas:
Can it happen?
Are your jobs well designed? Do you have a genuinely
supportive health and safety culture? Are you confident that your
senior leaders possess the right skills to act as enablers for
safe/healthy behaviour? Is safety always the priority for your
organisation, even when the business is under pressure?
Will it happen?
Do your employees have the right health and safety knowledge and
skills? Is training really making a difference or is it merely
regarded as a 'box-ticking' exercise? Would employees express the
same views on your health and safety culture to both a manager and
a colleague?
Do we want it to happen?
Is your workforce motivated and committed to creating a better
health and safety culture?
You can achieve measurable results
Every organisation will have different ways of measuring health
and safety performance. We can work with you to benchmark your
current performance using our research-based tools.
We can also help you to determine meaningful and reliable
indicators of the success of your health and safety
interventions.
As examples, our clients report that our approach has delivered
measureable:
- increases in reported near misses
- reductions in hours lost due to accidents reduced
- reductions in incidences of RIDDOR reportable accidents
- commitment to health and safety by management
- workforce participation and ownership of safety problems and
solutions
- improvement in trust between site staff and management
- improvement in organisational communications
