Tips to help you create a strong risk and safety culture.
Everybody wants a strong culture in their organisation when it comes to risk and safety management. There are sevenmain tips all organisations should consider when addressing culture change.

TIP 1 – Where are we now and where do we want to be?
You have to find out what your culture looks like now – a diagnostic check – and you must work out where you want to be; what does good look like for you.

TIP 2 – Engage everyone on the journey and make sure they have the right skill sets
You need to get everybody on board, as well as ensuring they have the right skills.

TIP 3 – Everyone is a leader and everyone has something to contribute
The best way to embed a culture – leadership at all levels

TIP 4 – Don’t underestimate peoples’ capabilities
Make yourself aware of how capable people already are to help you on the journey.

TIP 5 – Empower people to help move the culture forward
Break down the hierarchies.

TIP 6 – Focus is required to create change
You have to stay focused and on the ball.

TIP 7 – Change is a process – not an end point
Change is dynamic not static – remember the journey is as important as the end point, and there may not be an end point!
