Safety and compliance with regularities should be on top concern for PM. HSE is costing organization more money and reputation so

Have you celebrated this year (2019) with zero harm?

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?

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.

In the Real Estate Development and Consturction world, HSE is of utmost importance 24/07. I actually wrote an article about this back in the days - Feel free to check it out:

Without proper safety measures and compliance, projects could fail.

Rami thank you for your support see this is the problem when you wrote something it wont pop up again I mean once it is up for few hours or one - two days then it gets buried and no one knows about it
some key words should bring up previous topic accordingly

Sorry I am not sure I fully understand but if I do here is what I can conclude:

I commended before yesterday but maybe it did not appear immediately as it contains a link and because of this, it maybe have to be approved by the site moderators before it is published online. I assume that's why you were delayed to see my comment.

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.
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

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.

Zero harm
Luis, waw thanks for your feedback so it is clear that even part of EU but not following the rules and standards would absolutely create unsafe situation and cause fatal incidents.

True, as long as regulations apply to everyone, which in this case, they do.

Mr. Salih and Mr. Kaibni bring out a good point, safety is a fundamental component to projects today.

I feel that a new 'Safety Knowledge area' should be added into the 7th edition of the PMBOK guide.

Does anyone else agree?

Thanks for your feedback.

That's a good suggestion and it was proposed a few years back. However, I am not sure if you are aware but, the PMBOK has an extension called "The Construction Extension to the PMBOK" and it has 15 Knowledge Areas of which one of them (KA 14) is:

Project Health, Safety, Security and Evironmental (HSSE) Management

It goes into the details of HSSE Management on Projects. You can download this for free from PMI Website if you are a member. Check it out and let me know what you think or if you have any questions.

Hope this helps.

Not at all. Safety is a non-functional requirement that belongs to product and from it the project requirements will be defined then safety will be inherited. On the other hand, is not related to a project, is related to a organizational strategy whith assures the project/program/portfolio requirments includes it. Just in case there is something specific the project/program/portfolio management can complete PMI related approach with GPM.
