Steering Teams as Strategic Drive toward Positive Safety Cultural Maturity

The steering teams need to awaken and act to the depth and intensity of positive safety culture at sites. They take safety pledges every day, but injuries and fatalities continue. Risk is live daily; risk control must be live daily. The focus of this paper is to describe and simplify the action of steering teams as the strategic drive of executing safety culture for the benefit of organizations. Some salient features discussed are like top to bottom steering teams of safety culture concerning cultural maturity, what would motivate steering teams for achieving the next safety cultural levels, and how steering teams work in unity to be a strategic drive for safety culture. The corporate and site steering groups would monitor the progress of a good positive safety culture and ensure that the core principles/values of safety culture intervention do not deviate, failing which the long-term safety culture goals and effects are not achievable. This paper serves the literature reviews, case briefs, and experiences of field experts/practitioners and highlights how the steering teams’ members deliver change through the execution of safety cultural intervention through their leadership, commitment, passion and quality time.
