We discuss “safety culture” and what that actually means…What Chernobyl has to do with Safety Culture of your Solar Construction company…

When I hear of safety culture, what I means to me as the Author is:

1. The way we do things around here in relation to the attitude, perception, behaviors and actions & control that either make us & the team safer or not.

2. It also reflects the level of relationships, communications, mindset and heart set.

3. It’s what we do in relation to Safety when no-one is watching and, when someone is watching.

4. It is an energy or state that has the above aspects, that can be measured, but is the combination of a number of things above, a bit, like the sound of a band when all the band is together playing. The ‘song’ sounds good or needs some work.

Solar inspection blitz by regulator in 2021

SolarVantage points:

  • An increasing number of installations means collective risk is increasing

  • The regulator in NSW is seeking to inform but taking a zero-tolerance approach and issuing fines

  • If you were on the fence about reviewing your safety management system, now is the time.

  • SWMS, Licensing, and correct safety gear are a focus.
