Safety Culture Benchmarking 101 – Using Benchmarking to Create Clear Baselines

Safety culture journeys will look and feel different for each organisation. The differences are influenced by the type of organisation or industry, the starting points and, sometimes, the personalities involved. However, in those differences the core values, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that the organisation holds remain the same. Given the differences, how do organisations measure their progress or maturity and ensure that everything is moving towards the right direction.

This is where the CANSO Safety Culture Benchmarking Programme comes in. It is about making safety culture measurable to shape positive changes. The Africa region sees a lot of positive in embarking on the benchmarking journey but how do we create baselines and ensure that we set our future targets with realism and pragmatism?

As we do most of the time, we go back to our community to find out what is the real status on the ground, but how can we use what we know to shape the future and positive change?

In this moderated session, the participants, all industry safety and operational experts, will take is through a conversation journey that will reveal their thoughts, fears, experiences and practical lessons that shape safety culture in the region and the related benchmarking thereof.
