Safety culture

What is it?

This is an example of a safety campaign, meant to motivate you and inspire ideas for your own campaign. The campaign was called “More safety while driving and transporting” and was carried out by Südsalz, a large German salt supplier. They'd had nine work related vehicle accidents in four years, and as a response, started a safety campaign to inform and train their workers, achieving a sustainable reduction in vehicle accidents for their company.

Who is it for?

Employers planning to train and inform their workers and implement a safety culture in their own company. Workers, to raise their awareness of occupational safety and health and of safe work practices.

What is the benefit?

Actions and campaigns at company level help to establish a safety culture. Workers will be trained and informed about the risks of workplace transport and on how to drive safely, reducing the probability of accidents in your company.
