A safe working environment is a condition or state that is not necessarily an event like an accident. This means that a small number of accidents or accidents does not mean that the workplace is particularly safe. What is truly important is the safety process as it is an integral part of the daily activities in the workplace. There are numerous activities that are clear indicators of a safe working environment, and in this article 10 of them are listed.
- Daily safety briefing session . Every morning, at the beginning of the work and at the beginning of the shift, the leader performs an interactive safety briefing with his team. It ended in less than 10 minutes and has contributions from team members.
- Weekly inspection to identify unsafe conditions. All staff participate in order to conduct regular safety inspections to find dangerous and unstable situations. This may occur once or twice per week.
- Weekly inspection to identify unsafe behavior. Every week, two staff regularly inspect and inspect unsafe behaviors. The objective is to identify unsafe behavior and refer to the next daily safety briefing. Of course the name is not mentioned.
