FLY SAFE
should routinely demonstrate this commitment in words and deeds, leaving no doubt that reporting safety issues is vital not only to the safety and security of every employee but also to the survival of the company.
▪ Safety training and workshops: Regular training must emphasize the importance of reporting and teach employees how to recognize and report potential hazards.
▪ Recognition programs: Acknowledging and rewarding proactive safety reporting reinforces the value we place on our employees’ contributions to safety. Consider imple- menting a program that incentivizes continual reporting of perceived hazardous conditions or behaviors.
Achieving Reporting Nirvana Ultimately, fostering a culture in which every employee feels not only empowered but obligated to report safety issues, and making sure each report is taken seriously, is fundamen- tal to establishing trust, preventing accidents, and ensuring
your organization’s long-term success and safety. Ignoring or undervaluing reports, even from the most vocal and chal- lenging employees, can have dire consequences. Recognizing and acting on valuable insights from all
employees, regardless of how they are delivered, is essen- tial for maintaining one of the most challenging but vital elements of an advanced safety culture—pure, unfiltered, transparent reporting.
