Creating a culture of safety: best practices for every stage of the journey

Session Overview: What is safety culture and what are the benefits? How can you measure safety culture maturity? What involvement should senior leadership have and how can you get buy-in from the workforce? How do you ensure safety culture is robust and long-lasting? During this session, we’ll aim to answer these questions, as well as many others you may have! This session is ideal for those wanting to avoid the cost and disruption from accidents and occupational ill health, attract and retain talent, and drive higher performance. 

Why Attend? To understand your safety culture maturity and how to progress, whatever stage you’re at.

What to Expect: This session will focus on how to foster a strong culture of safety at every stage of the journey.

• Brief Presentation: The discussion will help attendees understand their organisation’s safety culture maturity and the benefits to implementing a long-lasting workplace safety culture.
• Fireside Chat: Attendees will hear from manufacturers on their own journey, who will share real-world experience, lessons learned, and practical advice for overcoming challenges.
• Q&A: Audience engagement is encouraged so the session will conclude with Q&A.

Join us to gain valuable insights, learn from others, and contribute to the collective knowledge of our manufacturing community.
