Awareness of health and safety at work
Safety is always important. For every employee in every sector. The Safety Culture Ladder (SCL) is an instrument that is used to measure safety awareness in organisations. The higher up the ladder your organisation is, the better its safety awareness is too. Safety involves more than compliance with rules and requirements and must be a day-to-day part of culture, attitudes and behaviour. The SCL encourages organisations and their suppliers to be aware of health and safety at work.
An SCL certificate or statement shows that you are taking safety seriously, which makes it easier for your customers to trust you.
"The SCL helps to start the conversation and ask yourself together, for example, why someone is not wearing that helmet at a certain time when it is the rule. That way you get much more awareness from your employee. Together, we take safety to the next level."
"Using the SCL increased and changed the energy on the subject of safety. Once it becomes clear that SCL is about behaviour and attitude rather than procedures, rules or documents, a completely different view of safety emerges. That was nice to see with us too."
“Really, the SCL was the missing link we needed to add to hard agreements and rules to influence people’s attitudes and behaviour and improve safety.”
If you would like to obtain an SCL certificate or statement for your organisation, make sure you work through every step of the step-by-step plan. It describes everything you need to do: step-by-step. Depending on the product you are interested in, the first step could be a self-assessment. If it is, we have a handy SAQ webtool that you can use for this purpose.
