Creating and maintaining a culture of safety is a mindset for entrepreneurs to achieve for real employee safety in the workplace.  An entrepreneur’s goal is to truly make safety a way of doing business, not just a slogan.  Yet the safety mindset for employees is best achieved when terminology is used to reinforce the existence of a culture of safety in the workplace, coupled with constant safety awareness and reminders.

  5. Winning at safety is like winning in sports. It’s not the effort of one person, but the focus and determination of the entire team working towards a common goal.
  6. When it comes to safety lets us never leave a team member behind for it is the responsibility of all that everyone goes home safe to their families.
