The Role of Effective Communication in Establishing a 'Positive Safety Culture'

摘要

This paper describes the role of effective communication in developing a positive safety culture. Safety culture in any workplace is composed of individual and group values, attitudes, behavioral patterns and a level of commitment from all Stakeholders, including Senior Management, Supervisors, Line Workers, Laborers, and Third Party Contractors. In most workplace accidents, pollution or disasters and/or ineffective communication have played a role. For any organization to successfully negate these risks, a positive safety culture must be a common goal among all Stakeholders. It has been shown that effective communication between all Stakeholders is required to achieve a positive safety culture.
