What's the Reason for Most Safety Incidents?

It is common for organizations to identify unsafe working conditions as the root cause, but only about 10% of incidents are actually due to unsafe working conditions.

Numerous studies prove that the main cause of safety incidents is due to at-risk behavior of the staff involved. Things don't cause accidents, people do. 

With this in mind, we have compiled The Six Secrets of Safety Excellence - focusing on the key behaviors that drive safety excellence. An organization that focuses on this must ensure that: 

1. TOP MANAGEMENT IS VISIBLY COMMITTED
2. MIDDLE MANAGEMENT IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED
3. FRONT-LINE SUPERVISION IS PERFORMANCE-FOCUSED 
4. EMPLOYEES ARE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING
5. THE SYSTEM IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THE CULTURE...
6. ...AND IS POSITIVELY PERCEIVED BY THE WORKFORCE

But what does this mean, and how can you implement it within your organization?
