White paper explains how to build sustainable safety culture

Grainger has released a white paper titled "How We Should Talk about Safety Culture: Rewriting the Conversation" that defines safety culture as an outcome of what management says about safety and what workers see, rather than a starting point that regulates safety practices.

According to the company, with this outcome model as a guide, safety leaders can be more proactive, recognizing safety improvements as an economic and competitive opportunity, as opposed to viewing safety as a cost or threat and taking a day-to-day reactive approach.
