Trying to Improve Safety on a Continuous Basis

It is unusual for different types of accidents to occur within an organization, and most that continue to occur after the unsafe condition has been removed are the result of unsafe acts or behaviors. The unsafe actions are usually the result of error, violations of best practices, or disregard for established rules and can be avoided. Most often, those making such errors are aware of their mistakes. They take short-cuts even though they have received training, but fall prey to a culture that allows workers to take calculated risks. 

The goal is to have effectively trained workers who are motivated to self-regulate themselves and take personal responsibility to work safely using the safest practices where these have become an integrated part of the workers value system and company culture.
