ABSTRACT

The Occupational safety and health improvement should not be seen merely as regulatory compliance or as a cost implication, as these provide a competitive advantage to the companies that implement it. Establishing a safe working place leads to a continuous and sustainable improvement in organizational performance. A central belief in most of the literature is that people perform better when they are physically and emotionally able to work and want to work, which in turn leads to higher productiveness, which can lead to higher profits. It is important to recognize that safer workplaces translate into increased productivity, more job satisfaction, employee involvement and other organizational performance parameters. The findings of this case study indicate that Safety Observations have resulted in in reduction of accidents and increase in morale of people The culture of safety first has helped people in imbibing safety as a way of life, beyond work, at their home and wherever they go. They have helped in transforming the safety culture beyond the workplace and people have inculcated safety as a way of life. Thus, safety observations and safety culture can be used as a very powerful tool in changing the mindset of people with respect to high levels of safety behavior.
