Safety starts with having the right mindset. Most employees who do not behave in a safe manner do so because they don't know WHY it's important. At Premier I&E, my job isn't just to enforce safe behavior, but to remind those who work here WHY being safe should be their TOP priority. The first and most crucial step in safety is awareness, being aware of potential hazards and actively working to mitigate or eliminate them if possible. I aim to reinforce this mindset and create a culture of safety and efficiency!

Flywheel Effect In Safety Culture In my nearly 40 years of professional experience, first as an Engineer, then as a HSE Practitioner, and now as a Global HSE Leader, I have come across various spectrums of safety culture maturity. I regard myself to be fortunate to have started my career experiencing first-hand how a matured safety culture works in practice with oil majors Shell, Exxon and BP. One think I realised though, is that transforming safety culture is not as onerous as one thinks…yes, it takes time but all you need is the first step, something to kick-start the change and the journey. I think safety culture transformation can be likened to a large flywheel. Something has to happen to start moving it. It doesn’t have to be a watershed event (like a major accident) but once inertia has been overcome and the wheel is in motion, the transformation journey begins. The next important thing to watch out is its track and direction. The last thing you want is to start turning it uphill…against the tide…you will only face push-back and resistance that will ultimately cause the wheel to roll backwards and stall the transformation journey. It’s therefore important that you steer the wheel towards a downhill track so it gains momentum, where small wins build on each other over time. No doubt the journey will still be full of potholes and obstacles but if it’s headed in the right direction, you’re in safe hands! #safetyculture, #safetyleadership, #safetytraining Check out below https://lnkd.in/gKw7j8Wp

Safety always comes first!   On Monday, I participated in a safety walk with the Orion Corporation Executive Management Board around our new cream packaging line in Turku, Finland. The line will become operational in December, and it has several new safety improvements, including the automation of manual packaging tasks. The safety walk reinforces a culture of safety leadership within Orion. It provides a unique opportunity to engage in direct conversations with our personnel regarding safety-related matters. Whether addressing challenges, achievements, or sharing best practices, these discussions serve as a catalyst for strengthening safety throughout our entire company, from production to our final products. With new investments, it is especially important to conduct a thorough assessment of various occupational safety risks before commissioning and ensure the safest possible operation. #safety #WeAreOrion

"Safety is everyone's responsibility, not just a priority." This quote emphasizes that safety is not just a priority, but a shared responsibility among everyone in the workplace. It's not just the safety team's job to ensure a safe environment, but every individual's duty to look out for themselves and others. By working together and being proactive, we can prevent accidents and create a culture of safety. Remember, safety is a team effort! Additional Tip: Encourage employees to speak up if they see a hazard or have a safety concern. Create an open and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable reporting safety issue's.
