It can’t all be about rules, though, when it comes to a safety culture. Mix in some recognition of the behaviors wanted in the workplace. For example, someone who helps another coworker lift a heavy item. That is reflective of a good safety culture. That is the type of behavior that should be fostered in the workplace. Have supervisors recognize those behaviors.
