Guide to Good Practices in Preventive Culture
Within the 15 guides of good practices that we are presenting individually on a monthly basis, prepared in collaboration with Prevencontrol, we find the one that concerns us today: Good Practices in Culture Preventive. One of our favorites, although all of them open the door to excellence in occupational risk prevention, innovation and of course, continuous improvement.
Specifically in this guide we will delve into the nuances of an issue, no matter how difficult it is, the less exciting it is: what is preventive culture? There it is nothing. As we read in our guide:
Safety Culture is the way we do security in our company
to which we add: when no one sees us. That is, we need to find that subjective component that pushes us to commit to safety and health, to lead (without it being necessary to be managers, we must all be leaders in safety), to raise our hand if we see or detect unsafe behavior... Engagement, an Anglo-Saxon word that describes commitment in a superlative way.
As always in a very clear, concise and simple way, we will tell you the 5 levels of positioning of companies in terms of their preventive culture, we need to know what our starting point is to improve:
There are different diagnostic methods that are described in the guide, interviews, surveys, field visits, small group sessions, etc... any of them will help us measure where we are.
Once the diagnosis phase has been completed, the company's management will have to visualize where it wants to go in terms of security and why. Of course, deciding and detailing the company's strategy is one of the most important and at the same time most fascinating tasks of an organization, it is when we determine where we want to go.
Throughout the guide, both in the diagnosis phase, as well as in the phase of the management vision proposal, as well as in the description of the integration of culture, as well as in the involvement of people, as well as in the final phase of review of the objectives (we do not lose sight of the Deming cycle PLAN+DO+CHECK+ACT), we will see good practices of successful companies that will serve as an example and that we can implement whatever the sector or size of the company.
We don't want to reveal more about this fantastic guide, but we do want to show you here one of the practices that we find most useful, in prevention and in life in general:
All our guides have the same structure:
