The preventive culture is the commitment and resolution of all problems in the environment of safety, health and business well-being of employees in the company.

Below we highlight 5 steps that can help your company to improve the preventive culture and the management of occupational risk prevention:

1. Know your workers well and place them in the most suitable position based on your needs

Know what your workers do best, what they like the most and discover where, in what place or position, they can contribute more to the organization, exchanging roles and relying on the information that the leaders of each section can provide you.

2. Pay attention to working conditions and improve your employees’ perception of risk

To change the bad habits acquired by your employees and change them for safer attitudes, attention must be paid and the perception of risk of each worker must be improved to ensure safe and healthy working conditions.
