Chapter 6:
Conclusion
Effectively communicating your EHS initiative and achieving safety success for your organisation rests heavily on the business implications of your recommendations. You can use the return on safety as a tool to better execute, influence, and lead throughout your company.
1
Acknowledge and address any company and personal barriers that may block effective communication.
2
Frame and prioritise your EHS initiatives in a way that’s understood by the largest part of the organisation, namely the “business”.
3
Track metrics associated with your EHS initiatives on a recurring basis. This helps to build stronger credibility for future initiatives.
Integrating business and EHS metrics and establishing strong cause-and-effect relationships can help garner more resources. It can also engage executive attention while supporting a stronger, performance-focused culture based on continuous improvement. When successful, it can help ensure performance is measured not only in terms of pounds, but also in terms of total relative risk to the company and the workforce.
