For many of us, the new year starts by writing a set of resolutions, things we would like to improve or bad habits we want to kick. This tradition can help anyone wishing to make positive changes in the new year — whether as an individual or an organization. If you are interested in creating a safer work environment for your team in 2020, it might be time to develop your company’s safety resolutions for the new year.
No matter what goals you select, one thing is constant: You must understand what your goals are. The environmental drilling and services industry has a certain amount of inherent risk, which is why it’s vital to create and maintain a strong safety culture. In order to know if you’re successful in mitigating risk, you need to establish baseline metrics and track them to determine if you’re making progress or losing ground. Fortunately, there are many metrics to decipher safety performance and help determine which resolutions to put into place.
