The Maturity Scale Model
Achieve a proactive and creative working environment with a strong focus on safety, health, and wellbeing
Many workplaces find that occupational health and safety is often regarded as a mere add-on, rather than being fully integrated into daily operations. In many organisations, health and safety work revolves around compliance and is primarily driven by safety professionals and the occupational health and safety committee. With the Vision Zero maturity scale model, you gain a clear, visual overview of where your organisation stands in relation to developing a proactive and creative working environment.
The Vision Zero mindset emphasises the importance of embedding health and safety as a natural part of your business strategy and day-to-day activities, ensuring that both leaders and employees take ownership of creating a safe and healthy workplace. Vision Zero has gained traction worldwide, and the approach is relevant to all sectors and organisations – public as well as private, regardless of size. Under the Vision Zero paradigm, the focus shifts away from simply counting accidents and days lost to sickness, and towards understanding how workplace injuries and work-related absence can be prevented in the first place. Vision Zero is all about integrating safety, health, and wellbeing into the way you tackle occupational health and safety challenges in your unique organisational context. This demands robust knowledge and skills for everyone at work, efficient processes for sharing insights, and the integration of both physical and psychosocial work environments into your daily operations and overall business strategy.

Where is your organisation on the Maturity Scale Model?
Every organization is at a different stage on the journey towards a higher level of preventive maturity. Most companies and institutions tend to work proactively when it comes to accident prevention, but unfortunately take a more reactive approach when it comes to preventing psychosocial challenges or long-term physical and mental wear and tear among leaders and employees.
The first step in Vision Zero is to begin a dialogue within your workplace about your organisation’s maturity level regarding both physical and psychosocial work environments.
