1 Define your safety vision

The first step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to define your safety vision and goals. Your safety vision should reflect your core values, mission, and expectations for your employees and stakeholders. It should also be clear, concise, and measurable, so that you can communicate it effectively and monitor your progress. Your safety vision will guide your hiring and training decisions, and help you align your policies, procedures, and practices with your safety standards.

2 Hire for safety attitude

The second step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to hire for safety attitude. Safety attitude is the degree to which an individual values and prioritizes safety in their work. Hiring for safety attitude means looking for candidates who demonstrate a positive and proactive approach to safety, who are willing to learn and follow safety rules, and who are open to feedback and improvement. You can assess safety attitude by using behavioral interview questions, personality tests, and reference checks, and by involving your current safety leaders and champions in the hiring process.

For new employees, I have learned a comprehensive 1-2 day safety orientation would at some point reveal the employee’s attitude towards safety and why. Could be exposure to serious accident, a previous employer’s safety commitment or lack thereof. The safety orientation must allow for subject matter discussion points, a lecture numbs their minds. Also found that including their supervisor and potential co-workers at some point during the orientation elevated the safety relevance confidence factor to the employee.

3 Train for safety skills

The third step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to train for safety skills. Safety skills are the specific knowledge, abilities, and behaviors that enable an individual to perform their work safely and efficiently. Training for safety skills means providing your new hires with comprehensive and tailored safety orientation, education, and coaching, and ensuring that they have the necessary resources, tools, and support to apply their safety skills on the job. You can train for safety skills by using a variety of methods, such as classroom sessions, online courses, simulations, demonstrations, mentoring, and feedback.

4 Reinforce safety values

The fourth step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to reinforce safety values. Safety values are the shared beliefs and norms that shape the safety culture and behavior of your organization. Reinforcing safety values means rewarding and recognizing your employees for their safety performance, celebrating their safety achievements, and providing them with continuous learning and development opportunities. You can reinforce safety values by using a variety of incentives, such as bonuses, recognition programs, career advancement, and team-building activities.

5 Communicate safety expectations

The fifth step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to communicate safety expectations. Safety expectations are the specific requirements and expectations that you have for your employees regarding their safety performance and behavior. Communicating safety expectations means setting clear and realistic safety goals and standards, providing regular and constructive feedback, and addressing any safety issues or concerns promptly and effectively. You can communicate safety expectations by using a variety of channels, such as meetings, newsletters, posters, reports, and surveys.

6 Engage in safety dialogue

The sixth step to ensure safety culture and communication in your hiring and training is to engage in safety dialogue. Safety dialogue is the exchange of information, ideas, and opinions about safety issues, challenges, and solutions between you and your employees, and among your employees. Engaging in safety dialogue means creating a culture of trust, openness, and collaboration, where your employees feel comfortable and encouraged to share their safety experiences, insights, and suggestions, and to ask questions and seek help. You can engage in safety dialogue by using a variety of techniques, such as listening, asking, coaching, and empowering.

Transparency & honesty is a key component to safety culture & communication. In my experience, I’ve gotten better results on the level of engagement & commitment when employees were included, listened to, & included in all aspects of this arena. It’s important to educate employees on all levels & be open/honest with them about status, problems, & changes. Transparency builds trust & no one likes to be blindsided. This approach has helped me build relationships & allies in places where no one liked or believed in the “safety team” & the safety culture was fragile or non existent.
