How do you foster a culture of openness and trust for hazard identification feedback?

Communicating expectations for hazard identification feedback involves setting clear guidelines and expectations for how feedback should be provided and what information should be included. Define the process for providing feedback on hazard identification, including who should provide feedback, how feedback should be provided, and what information should be included. Establish clear guidelines for providing feedback, including the types of hazards that should be identified, the level of detail required, and any specific formats or templates that should be used. Encourage participation in the feedback process by making it easy for stakeholders to provide feedback, providing regular reminders and updates, and recognizing participation.

This has to be driven by Senor leadership. Safety educators in the field need to be backed by one boss such as a Safety Director and that individual needs to have the support to uphold the rules and regulations. With this support field level safety can be trained to nurture an environment of trust and then and only then will employee’s buy in 100 percent to any safety program. Until you can show the craft that the company as a whole truly cares about them, the efforts toward building a true culture of safety will be half hearted at best.

It has got to be owned and driven by the line organization to the point that it becomes part of the entire company's culture.

One of my old bosses had a term I like to use - 'killed by committee' (KBC) - a way to keep the issue in perpetual review without any measurable policy change.

The categories stated are valid and the category listing seems to be manufacturing... that's fine, but the concepts apply to other industrial and institutional settings. Stop Work Authority should be included. The term may not be recognized in the manufacturing sector, but the concept applies... The overview in each section seems to focus on a knowledgeable person recognizing a hazard and reporting it. That's OK if you're in a robotic manufacturing industry where the primary loss might be tools, time, or parts. In many industries, the human exposure to the hazard does not allow the time to report or document or text or use an app to let someone in HSE in another location respond. 750 characters is not adequate for this response.

This process involves several key strategies. Firstly, leaders should actively encourage & welcome feedback from all team members, emphasizing that every input is valued & contributes to safety. Secondly, create anonymous reporting channels to ensure confidentiality & reduce fear of reprisal. Thirdly, provide regular training on hazard identification techniques & the importance of reporting near misses. Finally, publicly acknowledge & act upon the feedback received, demonstrating a commitment to addressing safety concerns & continuously improving processes. Through these efforts, a culture of openness & trust can flourish, promoting proactive hazard identification & risk mitigation.
