Ahead of the session, SHP caught up with the team to find out a little more about what is in store…
What are your top 3 tips for creating or improving a company’s safety culture?
“Our top three tips for creating and improving a company’s safety culture are:
Do you think communication channels between safety practitioners and senior management have improved as a result of the pandemic?
“Communication between safety practitioners and senior management has been forced into improvement since the start of the pandemic. As a result of coronavirus, organisations have faced countless challenges that require strong solutions, which more often than not need to be tailored for individual organisations – there is no “one size fits all”. A collaborative effort between senior management and safety practitioners has helped many organisations remain on their feet through the pandemic.”
What benefits does that bring?
“As a result of improved communications to tackle an issue as big as the coronavirus, we hope to see strong communications continue and help organisations crack down on other safety issues that have been present for too long.”
Do you think safety training will continue to be carried out remotely as we return to ‘normal’, or will companies revert to more traditional training format to upskill workers?
“If coronavirus has proved anything, it’s that people can work effectively whilst working remotely. In many cases, organisations are saving money by allowing employees to work from home, and allowing them to complete certain training courses online can also be financially beneficial, as well as being beneficial in a number of other ways.”
Finally, you will be hosting a panel debate on ‘Creating a Culture of Compliance’ at Safety & Health Expo Connect 2021, what can attendees expect from that session and who will it be most relevant too?
“We want attendees to come away from this session with a smile on their faces knowing that they can reap the huge benefits from creating a culture of compliance relatively simply by following the guidance we offer.”
