WEBINAR - Cultivating a Resilient Safety Culture: The Four Components

Safety culture exists whether an organization proactively manages it or not. Over the past 50 years, Caterpillar Safety Services has worked with hundreds of organizations striving to build the strongest safety culture possible to keep their people safe. What we've learned is that the key to success and sustainability is resilience. In this presentation you will learn about the four interdependent components that are necessary to achieve a resilient safety culture: a system with appropriate controls and clear expectations, a shared mindset that meets challenges with care and curiosity, consistent leadership behaviors that positively influence others, and a fully engaged organization focused on continuous improvement to build ownership. 

Learning Objectives: 

- Understand what it means to have a resilient safety culture and what is necessary to achieve it. 

- Gain insights into why many safety systems struggle to deliver desired outcomes and how to improve them. 

- Grow your awareness of why people don't follow standard work and how to create a caring and learning culture.
