Who can do the most to promote safety in the workplace? YOU!

Step # 12 Create a Want-To Safety Culture
Finally, try to create a safety culture in your department in which employees do the safe thing not because they have to, but because they want to- because they want to avoid injuries so that they can go home to their families in one piece at the end of the workday. Help employees see the value in making the safe decisions. Remind them how many safety-related decisions they make every day and how one bad decision is all it takes to get hurt.
