Six steps to adopting a culture of safety
Learn how to create a safe, productive workplace
JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business and a manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, offers a new whitepaper, Adopting a Culture of Safety, that outlines six steps companies can take to create a safe, productive workplace. Topics addressed in the paper are how to adapt EH&S programs to meet safety expectations, implement strategies for training, coordinate successful shift-to-shift handoffs, plan for emergencies, utilize signage to keep people informed and regroup to prevent repeat mistakes.
Building on the concepts and strategies outlined in its earlier whitepaper, 10 Tips for Creating a Safety-Focused Work Culture, JLG points out in the Adopting a Culture of Safety whitepaper that creating and maintaining a workplace safety culture go beyond following OSHA standards, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), following training videos, having safety captains and issuing incident reports. The most effective workplace cultures aren’t the error-free ones. They are the ones who are relentless in their effort to learn and improve from mistakes as they happen — and, most importantly, they work to prevent them from happening in the first place.
In this new whitepaper, JLG offers immediate steps companies can take to adopt a safety culture within their organizations, making them a fundamental part of an organization’s operations and a critical component of the company’s long-term success.
