In a new article (a version of which was recently published in OHSonline.com), Medgate’s John Easton examines how to improve safety culture at an organization by measuring ‘finding and fixing’ performance. The article, titled “How to Measure (and Improve) Safety Culture with Automation” addresses each of the following topics:
- How a single, automated database improves finding and fixing
- How to promote and understand a healthy balance between finding and fixing
- Standardizing an effective hazard identification and collection process
- Effectively prioritizing actions based on risk
Safety culture is a hot topic for many of today’s organizations, and a positive safety culture helps companies achieve their ultimate goal of achieving better safety performance. This article provides a tangible solution to measuring safety culture and improving safety at an organization.
