To empower the base of the pyramid where the workers are exposed to real hazards, the ICC – Consultivo knowledge paper on “Worker Safety Skill Training – foundation for a sustainable safe workplace” was launched at the ICC Industrial Safety and Surveillance Conclave on 2nd February 2018 at Kolkata.
Consultivo with its team prepared this knowledge report on worker safety through research, study & analysis, focusing on the HUMANWARE to ensure a safe base of the pyramid in building a solid foundation for a sustainable safety culture.
The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) organised the Industrial Safety and Surveillance Conclave on the theme of “Towards a sustainable and safe future” with its vision to create a future roadmap for a safe and sustainable industrial future. This flagship event provided a platform for knowledge sharing and discussion on the safety practices across the industry by eminent safety professionals & experts.
This knowledge paper emphasises the importance of safety at workplace and OHS (Occupational Health & Safety) practices. It discusses the rationale behind why worker safety is important for a safety management system, the existing challenges and the possible solutions and action points to overcome them.
The report then discusses different means of people engagement in safety management both at a conceptual level as well as its actual implementation. Various facets of safe work culture have been examined through data analysis of 9 elements of Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) which shows an interesting result. It depicts that supervision satisfaction and present work satisfaction of the workers have a direct correlation with the safety performance.
Finally, it emphasises that building a safe work culture is the most potent way to develop a safe and healthy workplace in industries in the long run. The key intention is to encourage the safety culture through knowledge and effective learning & training.
