Yes in my actual work place in most of the places of the world (close to 100% of the locations). All the people that worked in projects of any type have in line with that. The company has make an important investment on that.
Sergio yes all those expensive programme helps to reduce or eliminate the incident however it is implemented in the manager KPI to watch for that and ensure zero harm.

The program was not expensive. It was part of a whole "transformation" the organization took some time ago, no matter in the manufacturing related business units this is a must. The KPIs are just a mean to take meassures and make visible the changes in numbers but in my actual work place things are validated and verificated in other ways beyond numbers.

Sergio thanks for the clarification however here in Canada most of these programmes are costly but obliged to execute and train all workers the necessary training
I'd like to say that at least whenever I was in a leadership perspective this year, I tried to cultivate a culture of psychological safety. Thankfully, for the domains I work in, there are HSE departments much better equipped to handle physical safety aspects and my work never would interfere with theirs.
Kiron
Kiron, well even if there is a safety officer in the work place this does not eliminate the responsibility of the direct manager or supervisor who direct the work all SOP & JHA followed every time or in any change of procedure as it bring new risk that must be evaluated with new mitigation plan.
for example if an inspector see a worker on construction site without a hard hat the worker gets the ticket the supervisor gets the ticket and the company also gets the ticket so you see for one infraction three entities get three tickets The company would get the bigger fine. Saving Changes...
I'd highly recommend Amy Edmondson's book The Fearless Organization and her TED Talks on the subject but it is something I am passionate about.
Psychological safety exists within the context of a team and means that people don't worry about expressing fears, uncertainties, doubts and assumptions. They are willing to speak up without risk of being personally shamed or abused.
Regardless of the prevailing culture within our organization or department, whenever we are in a leadership position we have the ability to create a safe working environment for our team members, and to encourage them to support each other in achieving the same.
Kiron
Kiron and yes safety is the responsibility of everyone Saving Changes...
Concern for HSE is an important, very clearly manage in the construction industry for the physical aspect. Other industries don't have has elaborate effort, since most are not consider accident-prone.
I can see that many industries are reinforcing the role of their HR to include psychological safety, working on harassment prevention of all kinds.
Construction need to demonstrate zero accident record to bid on many projects. What if other industries had to demonstrate such a clean record?
Compliance should be a major concern to all PM within the project and the organization. Since compliance involves internal policies and rules, and all applicable laws, it can become complex with various local and international laws.
Vincent, thanks for your valued feedback, yes it is a continuous procedure to improve and enhance safety now that with every new laws we have to update the policy and deal with controlled substance such as
recreational pot cannabis etc. also each province has its number of discrimination grounds starts from 13 points to 16 or 17 points Saving Changes...
In my actual work place safety is taken in serious way, this year we didn't have any major occurences. But the country were we are located is far from being a beacon in this area.
Portugal is one of the countries in european union with more work acidents and this is direct related with companies negligence that do not comply with safety standards and do not act preventively.
Alexandre Costa
Alexandre thanks for your point it is really that this culture has to be implemented from top down it takes time to build that safety culture and increase the values of all workers Saving Changes...

Luis I really did not used the word security for limited however this is inclusive of safety if any incident require first aid or re-portable to the OH &S
Any spill for environment or even Bullying or harassment in a work place could add unsafe situation for other workers and the poison culture in work place has big impact.
Dear Riyad It is true what Alexandre wrote: "Portugal is one of the countries in European union with more work accidents and this is directly related to companies negligence that do not comply with safety standards and do not act preventively"
I can only be concerned about this reality
In projects where I participate, safety is a point of honor.

Dear Kiron
Thank you for your sharing
I've been watching the videos of Amy Edmondson's TED Conferences
Interesting this concept of psychologically safe
If teams are made up of people with growth mindset (and obviously critical thinking), the reported situations are unlikely to happen
How to promote psychologically safe in companies when people in teams have a fixed mindset? (low level of critical thinking)
Can it be achieved only with the change in organizational culture?

Psychological safety happens one team at a time. All it takes is one leader to inspire their team members to think and act a different way. Once other teams see how well that team performs, cultural change brings to spread.

Dear Kiron
Thanks for this opinion
Do you consider it to be a theme more related to leadership than the organizational culture or the mindset (and of course critical thinking) of the people in the teams?
