Safety at Work: More than a checklist

Leaders set the tone for safety and health at work. Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work – a reminder that safety isn’t just about compliance—it’s about culture. 🦺

When organisations prioritise safety and wellbeing, they don’t just reduce incidents—they boost productivity, engagement, and retention. A psychologically safe workplace fosters innovation, trust, and collaboration, while a physically safe one ensures everyone gets home at the end of the day.

Today is a great reminder to go beyond the tick-box approach and invest in sustainable safety practices. Your people (and your bottom line) will thank you for it.

💡A quick audit goes a long way…

-        Do your people feel empowered to raise concerns?

-        Are safety and wellbeing embedded in your culture, or just policies on paper?

-        How are you supporting mental health, not just physical safety?

True leadership is about behaviours.  Some things we can do to build that culture:

✅ Train leaders to identify psychosocial risks.

✅ Normalise conversations about mental health.

✅ Ensure workloads and expectations are realistic.
