SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For OH&S, examples include reducing Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) by a set percentage or achieving a specific participation rate in safety meetings. These goals help businesses stay focused, track progress, and measure safety performance effectively.
A strong safety culture is built through consistent communication, employee engagement, leadership commitment, and accountability at all levels. Encourage active participation in safety programs, lead by example, and assign clear safety responsibilities across the organization.
OH&S consultants provide expert guidance on developing tailored safety strategies, ensuring regulatory compliance, and offering ongoing support. They help businesses create customized safety plans, assist in KPI development, facilitate training, and support continuous improvement efforts throughout the year.
