E009_Is there a negative side to your Site Safety Notice Board?

Send us a text

Today's topic/question is a provocative one. 

What is the 'Site Safety Notice Board's negative impact? Does it encourage psychological safety?

We believe that, in principle, the intention is good, but what are the negative consequences?

Are we measuring, promoting and celebrating the right information?

What are your first thoughts when you see a safety board or read safety statistics that look amazing?

Let's dive in and see where this conversation takes us.

Karin shares a personal story about the consequences of not wanting to damage the statistics of (then) recently celebrated 'no incident' milestone, amongst other ideas and situations. 

So our question to you? 

• How do you reward or punish vulnerability in reporting something that can affect the stats?
• How do you help people feel safe enough to speak up?
• What does your Safety Culture encourage you to do? And is it psychologically safe? 

Thanks for listening!
