Seasoned safety professionals understand that investments in injury prevention, ergonomic assessments, and employee training can only yield true success when coupled with a pervasive safety culture that values accountability, transparency, and unwavering commitment from leadership to the frontline.
Meet Dr. Steven Simon, President of Culture Change Consultants, Inc., a luminary renowned as the "father of safety culture." Back in 1983, he coined the term and developed a robust methodology for catalyzing positive cultural shifts that wield profound impacts on safety outcomes. With over three decades of experience dedicated to guiding organizations in crafting comprehensive safety strategies, Dr. Simon stands as a foundational thought leader in the realms of workplace safety and injury prevention.
We were privileged to welcome Dr. Simon as a guest on the DORN Injury Prevention Academy Podcast, where we embarked on a profound exploration covering:
- The transformative journey of safety culture over the past thirty years.
- The ripple effects of cultivating a safety culture on critical safety metrics, such as injury rates and workers' compensation costs.
- The three indispensable pillars that employers must incorporate into their safety programs to forge enduring safety excellence.
