Cultivating a Strong Safety Culture
Presight has developed an innovative model to assess and capture the overall safety culture score within organizations. While low accident and incident rates may indicate good performance, Presight delves deeper to uncover potential issues that might be lurking beneath the surface. A punitive culture, for instance, can discourage employees from reporting minor incidents or near misses, thereby inhibiting proactive safety measures. Presight’s model helps identify such hidden concerns and empowers organizations to address them effectively.
