The Unwritten Ground Rules of Safety with Steve Simpson

In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Steve Simpson, an international workplace culture consultant, speaker and author, who has been helping organizations understand and transform their cultures for over three decades.

Why does the profession have so much difficulty measuring and understanding safety culture? Are safety practitioners missing something??

Steve introduces his concept of Unwritten Ground Rules (UGRs), the things nobody talks about that actually constitute the real culture of a workplace.

He explains how they shape “the way things are done” in organizations and why these hidden beliefs and expectations can have a powerful impact on behaviors, decisions and attitudes to risk.

EHS professionals will learn how to uncover these powerful UGRs by using a simple technique that will also identify the key contributing attributes impacting safety culture.

This practical conversation gives listeners a new perspective on cultural learning and change that will help organizations close the gap between stated safety values and actual workplace practices.
