A positive safety culture and a positive safety climate are very closely linked. Both are essential to improve productivity, quality, retention, employee engagement, and morale—and reduce injuries. The SafeStart Human Factors Framework allows leaders to connect individual performance and organizational performance to provide a construct to ensure consistency between technical and human systems. This session will define six safety climate success factors. Participants will be part of the discussion with two key people from SafeStart and learn how human factors in organizational systems influence individual actions and decisions, and vice versa. Participants will discover how to distinguish climate from culture—and why it matters—and they will also participate in an activity where they use human factors as a lens for assessing management system elements and discover practical leadership skills related to human factors.

The SafeStart process has been used across the globe for over twenty years to effectively engage employees in safety and develop 24/7 safety skills. Research (informed by fieldwork) into human factors, and feedback from SafeStart clients has led to the new instructional design of a broader set of tools and resources for making SafeStart "stick" even better over the long term. Sustainability is about maintaining and applying skills, so flexible training units (“flex units”) have been developed meant for just-in-time use. The flex units maintain the common language and thought process acquired from the core units while applying them to specific safety challenges. Participants will engage in an interactive discussion about how the SafeStart process has been updated and get hands-on experience with the new sustainability projects including a “choose your own adventure” client portal walk-through, a SafeChat conversation using the new toolkit, and a quick tutorial on our Client Success Model on how to align your goals, expectations and preparation for a successful and sustainable implementation.
