And now we must emphasize the importance of three different fields.
The first one is "technology",
the second one are the processes
and the third one are the people,
especially the great capacity of action on the part of the people
through the safety culture that, in addition to raising awareness about it,
involves the development of leadership and soft skills.
Areas that are difficult to treat and improve,
but with a great scope and duration over time, it can be done.
As we have said, we can look to the cycle of change.
And we can see it here.
Basically, the behaviors that happen on the workplace
are a consequence, in the first term, of the organizational culture,
which will lead us to safety culture.
And with it, to all of us being aware of them during our work.
So everything is related: leadership, culture, behaviors and results
are consequences of all of them.
We can continue saying that a safety conscious work environment
allows high reliability organizations to be proactive regarding safety,
and enables employees to feel free to raise concerns
or report them without any fear of retaliation.
Currently, research on the antecedents to safety conscious work environments
is scarce.
The behaviors that occurred in a workplace
are consequence of different things.
The first one is the organizational culture in the first place.
A set of commonly shared beliefs, expectations and values
that influences and guides
the thinking on behavior of the organization members
and is reflected in how work is carried out.
The second level is the safety culture itself.
An organization's values and behaviors modeled by its leaders.
And internalized by its members
which serve to make
this safe performance of work the overriding priority
to protect workers, the public and the environment.
And finally, the third and the top of the pyramid is
that we are all aware of them when doing our work.
A work environment in which employees
feel free to raise concerns to management or to the regulator
without any fear of retaliation.
Everything is related.
Now we have this road.
And here, we have two ways to undertake safety as a system.
The first one is focusing on failures,
and the second one is focusing on success situations.
As we have said before,
we are going to undertake our safety learning
focusing on failures.
But we don't have to forget
that there are new developments
which are thinking to focus also on success.
So mixing both things we can work
on those different parts or systemic thinking
in order to improve safety.
