Sustainable Safety Culture

Create a Sustainable Safety Culture

Lower Your Rates with a Focus on Safety

For over six decades we’ve seen time and again how the safest companies get the lowest rates. Traditional approaches to controlling losses are not enough. It takes a strong leadership-driven and employee-supported safety culture to prove to insurance carriers you’re doing what it takes to reduce your risk.

Why is it important to build a Sustainable Safety Culture?

The safest companies receive the lowest insurance rates.

Traditional loss control is just a start, not the solution.

An effective safety culture makes employees feel empowered, supported, and valued.

Reactive safety compliance doesn’t produce long-term savings.

There are

4 types of safety cultures

Which one sounds like your business? Hint: Most organizations stop at Compliant.

Reactive

A Reactive safety culture relies on the best judgment and common sense of employees to prevent incidents with little to no support or guidance from management. When push comes to shove, sales or deadlines win out over safety concerns.

Compliant

Compliant safety cultures check the boxes on legal requirements with high-level support from management but minimal follow-through. Mid-level employees are driven to keep themselves and each other accountable out of fear of reprisals, and the whole organization is motivated to primarily avoid penalties or repercussions.

Active

An Active safety culture rewards and recognizes good safety and helps employees feel valued for demonstrating and reinforcing safe habits. Management is committed to providing appropriate training and equipment, regularly tracking and reviewing operations, and ensuring immediate reporting and response.

Sustainable

We believe in helping you build a Sustainable Safety Culture not just to lower costs but because it’s the right thing to do. It makes employees feel valued and empowered to identify risks and make safe decisions for themselves and each other. It actively engages management in setting a positive example. It creates policies, practices, and procedures that are designed to adapt to the safety needs of the workplace.
