Put People First: Recognize that behind every safety protocol are individuals with unique needs—build systems that protect everyone, especially those who may be more vulnerable or marginalized.
Detect and Address Hidden Risks: Just as unseen barriers impact marginalized individuals, hidden workplace hazards must be proactively identified and eliminated before they cause harm.
Foster a Culture of Speaking Up: Empower everyone, from frontline workers to leadership, to voice concerns and share solutions—because safety and inclusion thrive when everyone is heard.
Learn and Adapt After Setbacks: When accidents or mistakes happen, respond not with blame but with a commitment to learn, adapt, and build back stronger—resilience turns setbacks into opportunities, just like in your journey.
Champion Belonging as Safety: True safety means more than physical well-being; it means creating an environment where everyone feels they belong and contributions are valued—leading to higher morale, lower risk, and greater success for all.
