SafeSystem
Safety training can help employees become safer, but without insight into how individuals contribute to the safety climate, even the most extensive safety program will have limited success. Traditional safety solutions focus on processes but not people. Creating a safety climate is different – it focuses on people, not systems.
Researchers have studied the problem of how to reduce workplace accidents for more than a century. Hogan’s research has identified three components that are critical in improving workplace safety – a culture of worker engagement, worker personality and organizational leadership. These elements must come together before workplace safety can be improved.
The Hogan SafeSystem model provides the tools necessary to build and maintain a culture of safe working practices. The three components of the SafeSystem are:
- The SafeSystem Climate Survey provides feedback regarding the perceptions of safety at all levels of the organization and results in a company-wide safety score.
- The Hogan Safety Assessment evaluates employees and job applicants in terms of six safety-related competencies and provides valuable information for helping them develop safer work behaviors.
- The SafeSystem Coaching Process provides leadership with the data-based feedback needed to build and maintain a culture of safe working practices.
