The 8 Habits of a Highly Effective Safety Culture: Powerful Lessons in Human Performance

by Rod Courtney

An industry professional for over 30 years, Rod hopes to help others learn from his mistakes and avoid the “Safety Cop” mentality.

The process of authoring The 8 Habits of a Highly Effective Safety Culture began in 2004 and has taken numerous years to develop the courage to put pen to paper. All cultures evolve and a safety culture is no different. These eight habits will change as industries change and as people change. However, six of the eight habits remain the same today as in 2004. The two habits that did evolve, #6 and #7, were due to progress in Human Performance Based programs.

This book assembles all the information you need to create a just and sustainable safety culture all in one place. The goal is to make it safe for your employees to fail, because failure is inevitable as long as humans are involved.

A quick and useful read for those getting into or just starting in safety. I would also recommend for those in operations or anyone if they wish to change their safety culture within their organization.
