How to effectively communicate
the importance of safety

In a perfect world, safety information would be judged on content. In reality, most presentations are judged on how well they are presented. People are more likely to support, remember, and implement information delivered with the most impact. Presentations are only as good as the presenter. The good news is that regardless of your talent level, the effectiveness of your communication can be dramatically improved.

Top safety people deal with change and face reality: Culture change is possible! It has worked for others and it can work for you and your people. Remember safety and changing safety procedures are not the problem, resistance to this reality is.

Communicating safety through an organization is accomplished by looking at The Truth about Success™. Effective safety procedures and behaviors are spread through an organization through the building of good relationships and safety awareness. Below are some highlights of what top safety performers do that allow them to spread the message of safety through an organization.

• They know it is possible to do the job right and safely at the same time.
• They know production quality and safety go hand-in-hand.
• They respect their boss, and participate in the change process.
• They know the key to safety is making sure people are aware of their surroundings. They are present in the moment. The excuse "I was not thinking" is always false. Accidents happen when people think, just not about the task at hand.
• They are not afraid to ask questions
• They can clearly explain the safety procedures. Overcoming resistance to change and adapting to change are fueled by clear communications. When people are confused they are hesitant to act.
• They remember the critical five rules to communicating safety:
  
  1. I promise to take the time to think through what I am going to do so I can do it safely
  2. I promise to get the right PPE and use it all the time
  3. I promise to talk to you (my coworker) about the work you are about to do so I can help you do it safely
  4. I promise to do whatever it takes to help you my co-worker from ever being hurt
  5. I promise to thank you every time you remind me about a procedure or anything that keeps me from being hurt
