Deferring to the expertise of staff to understand everyday operations (work as done) and safety challenges.
Promoting a proactive, systems-focused approach to safety.
Encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to leverage diverse perspectives on safety challenges.
Implementing regular training and development opportunities to enhance staff skills and knowledge in safety practices.
Utilising data-driven decision-making to identify trends and areas for improvement in safety outcomes.
Fostering a culture of continuous learning, where feedback is actively sought and valued.
Involving staff in the development and refinement of safety protocols to enhance buy-in and ownership of safety practices.
