Safety Culture
Build a strong safety culture – from insight to lasting change
A strong safety culture is at the heart of a safe and inclusive working environment, where risks are managed proactively and learning is a central focus. But how do you systematically develop your safety culture, ensuring that attitudes and behaviours are truly embedded in everyday life at your workplace? Human House can guide you and your organisation safely through every phase of a targeted safety culture process – from the initial mapping to the implementation of sustainable solutions.
What is safety culture – and why does it matter?
Safety culture encompasses the collective attitudes to safety across the entire organisation: Do we approach occupational safety and health consciously and preventively, or do we only react after an accident has occurred? Do we primarily view errors as systemic issues, or do we place responsibility on individuals?
A strong safety culture acknowledges that risks are a fundamental reality and systematically addresses them to prevent accidents and incidents. A mature safety culture strengthens both occupational safety and health, wellbeing, and your organisation’s reputation.
When is a safety culture process relevant?
You wish to prevent accidents and unsafe acts before they occur
Your workplace is experiencing recurring incidents
You want to increase engagement or require a cultural shift
Your workplace wants to work strategically and long term with occupational safety and health and wellbeing
Safety or prevention culture?
Whereas safety culture typically focuses on accident prevention, prevention culture is a broader concept that also encompasses psychological working environment, wellbeing, and health. At Human House, we can support you whether you want to strengthen your safety culture specifically or develop a wider prevention culture based on the Vision Zero approach.
If you are unsure which approach is best for your workplace, feel free to contact us. We offer flexible processes tailored to your organisation’s size and resources ‒ from smaller dialogue meetings to in‐depth culture analyses and transformation projects. You will receive impartial advice that facilitates development and helps your leadership drive lasting change.
How a safety culture process works at Human House
When you need advice on safety culture, our consultants base their work on your company, your industry, and your current maturity level, designing the process to match your needs. A process might include:
Dialogue and clarification of ambition
Our first step is to thoroughly understand your goals, challenges, and ambitions for your safety culture.
Mapping and analysis
We conduct a thorough mapping of your current culture, for example through surveys, qualitative interviews, observations, and expert reviews. In this way, you gain concrete insights into how proactive or reactive the culture is, as well as the specific strengths and challenges within your organisation.
Feedback and prioritisation
You will receive detailed feedback with our assessment of your current maturity level and clear recommendations on areas for action. We help you identify those areas where efforts will have the greatest impact.
Development and implementation of initiatives
We support you in developing concrete initiatives, such as dialogue meetings, leadership training, or updates to work procedures.
Embedding and follow‐up
You achieve real progress when new initiatives become fully integrated into daily operations and both management and employees take ownership. We support you with follow‐up, leadership guidance and embedding throughout the organisation.
