Behavioral Safety: Creating the Culture for an Injury-Free Workplace

Are you confused by academic terms, catchall phrases, and claims by all the different internal and external consultants when it comes to choosing a behavioral improvement process for your company? Do I call or use this or that? Do I address attitudes or behaviors? How do I make sense out of everything I hear and read? How do I sort it all out?

Do yourself a favor and forget what you call it! If the process improves your safety, health and environmental culture, changes unsafe attitudes and behaviors of all levels of employees, both management and labor, as well as, addresses workplace hazards and system changes, it works!
