Open and Fair Culture
Organisations and staff develop a culture of health and safety to make workplaces as safe as possible. Becoming aware of how accidents can be prevented, how they are caused, and what we can learn from mistakes made is important.
People are often afraid of admitting when they have made a mistake. We should encourage each other instead to take responsibility for reporting or admitting unsafe practices by reinforcing an open and fair workplace culture. When people are treated fairly by managers and colleagues, they feel they can be more open about mistakes that are made. Reporting mistakes allows everyone to learn and begin to assess any risks so safeguards can be put into place.
