Traditional health and safety risk assessments are focused on hazard identification. But what if the hazards are not physical or chemical? What if they are cultural? How can you identify cultural hazards that have a profound effect on safety, productivity and quality? In this session, we’ll examine systems that degrade trust and credibility, learn the most effective methods to identify latent elements that signal a culture at risk without spending thousands of dollars and hours on a cultural assessment, and take away tools to help minimize these cultural pressures. Participants will leave with a greater ability to identify the pitfalls in their own organization’s safety program, as well as the logic-based tools necessary to build an organization of balance and long-term success.
