21st Century Learning and Teaching

What you want is a change in behavior of individuals and a cultural change in the company as a whole. To achieve this goal, you must repeatedly confront employees with possible threats and show them best practices.

Also, the role of the managers is crucial. It is important to train trainers in their role and be sure that they practice good behavior on a day-to-day basis. Safety is not about knowledge in most cases, but it is all about “awareness” in the true sense of the word.

You only reach a higher level of awareness if safety is an issue that repeatedly is discussed and addressed.
