10 Tips for Building a Strong Safety Culture
10 Tips for Building a Strong Safety Culture Keep safety practical and punchy! By Divyanshu Jain Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Creating a strong safety culture takes effort, but the rewards—fewer injuries, lower costs, and a more engaged workforce—are well worth it. Organizations that successfully build a culture of safety don’t just reduce accidents; they improve morale, efficiency, and even profitability. Here are ten essential strategies to strengthen workplace safety: 1. Be Willing to Make Sacrifices Transforming a weak safety culture into a strong one isn’t always easy. It requires hard decisions and, in some cases, a willingness to part ways with employees who refuse to comply. Ted Lane, an Occupational Health and Safety Officer, recalls a major Alberta construction company that implemented a zero-tolerance safety policy. Initially, they lost workers who resisted the new approach, but within a few years, they rebuilt with employees who valued safety. The result? A safer, more efficient, and ultimately more profitable company. 2. Engage Employees in Safety Decisions Many safety policies fail because they are imposed without input from the employees they affect. Workers on the frontlines know the risks better than anyone else, so including them in safety discussions leads to more practical, effective solutions. “We promote the guys to do some of the things in their own way,” says Darryl Chipman, Director for CASCA. “Recently, a worker suggested using pictures instead of a long written form for safety reports. It made things easier, faster, and more effective.” 3. Encourage Candor and Open Communication Employees need to feel safe speaking up about unsafe conditions or behaviors. In organizations with strong safety cultures, workers are encouraged—not punished— for raising concerns. Ted Lane has a unique way of testing this: “I’ll walk into a site missing a piece of safety gear. If a worker stops me and says, ‘Hey, get that fixed,’ I know that company’s culture is working.” 4. Lead by Example Leadership must consistently demonstrate their commitment to safety. When managers follow safety protocols, employees are far more likely to do the same. Patrick Cantner, HSE Director of Willbros Canada, advises, “If you say safety comes first, but then reward employees who cut corners to meet deadlines, your safety culture will collapse.” 5. Promote Transparency An open approach to safety builds trust and accountability. Some companies publicly share their safety records and improvement efforts to reinforce the importance of workplace safety. Kinder Morgan sets a high standard by posting safety reports—including injury rates and incidents—on its public website. This level of transparency keeps employees and leadership accountable. 6. Empower Employees to Act Workers must feel confident in stopping unsafe work without fear of retaliation. When employees know they have the authority to halt operations for safety concerns, they become active participants in maintaining a secure workplace. “Our control center operators don’t need approval to shut down a pipeline if they feel there’s an unsafe condition,” says Dan Carter, Director of the Central Region & Control Centre for Kinder Morgan. “That’s built into our procedures.” 7. Make Safety Personal People are more likely to follow safety procedures if they understand the personal impact. Sharon Cole, OHS Consultant for Alberta Gaming and Liquor Corporation, changed a skeptical worker’s attitude by asking him to imagine how he’d feel if his best friend got hurt on the job because he didn’t speak up. That moment of personal connection turned him into one of the most safety-conscious employees on the site. 8. Keep Safety Communication Frequent Safety isn’t a one-time conversation—it’s an ongoing discussion. Monthly safety updates, toolbox talks, and bulletin boards help reinforce key messages. Adam Czarnecki, Human Resource Manager for Great West Kenworth, recommends using statistics to keep employees engaged: “Send out reports on injury trends. Show workers the progress being made.” 9. Recognize and Reward Safe Behavior Positive reinforcement plays a critical role in fostering safety. However, rewards should focus on long-term commitment rather than quick incentives that might encourage underreporting of incidents. Chipman explains, “We offer training and career advancement to employees who prioritize safety. When new safety positions open, we promote from within.” 10. Start With Yourself Safety culture begins with individuals taking personal responsibility. It’s easy to point fingers at management or coworkers, but real change starts when every employee commits to prioritizing safety in their own work. The Real Bottom Line When safety is embedded in an organization’s culture, it doesn’t just prevent accidents—it improves efficiency, morale, and trust. Strong safety cultures don’t develop overnight, but with commitment, consistency, and leadership, they become an essential part of the workplace. The key takeaway? Safety isn’t just a policy—it’s a mindset, and it starts with you. BIS Social Media Follow BIS Safety Software for industry-leading safety updates, training solutions, and more.

What’s New in WHMIS 2025
What’s New in WHMIS 2025 Key Updates and How to Prepare for a Safer Year By Luke Hillenbrand Facebook Twitter LinkedIn 2025 HPR Amendments Coming into Force WHIMIS 2025 looks a little different – what are the changes? You can read the full list, but the gist of it is the amendments keep our system aligned with the GHS and clarified points of confusion. Let’s take a closer look at some specifics: WHMIS is called WHMIS again. You don’t need to worry about the headache of having to use WHMIS 2015 in any year that isn’t 2015 for much longer. The new amendments are dropping the 2015—it’s cleaner. Going forward, you’ll hear these former versions of WHMIS referred to at the former HPR and the latest updates as the amended HPR. The name is expected to stay the same even when new amendments roll out. Changes to hazard classes and categories. The class Chemicals Under Pressure has been added to the HPA, and Flammable Aerosols is just called Aerosols (with an added category for non-flammable products). The class Pyrophoric Gases has been repealed and integrated as subcategories under Flammable Gases. Updated requirements for when suppliers become aware of significant new data. This update outlines stricter requirements for what a supplier must do when they become aware of significant new data (or information that changes the understanding of the risks) related to their products. While in the transition grace period to their new SDS/labels, suppliers are now required to prepare written documentation that outlines specific changes to the SDS or label as soon as they’re aware of the new information. Other general updates to classification and documentation. Several amendments have been made to update sections for clarity and accuracy in hazard communication. Again, you can find the full list of amendments here, as provided by Health Canada. But what does this mean? Depending on the work you do, some of these amendments will be more relevant to you than others. However, all workers, employers, and suppliers must be educated on these changes when working with hazardous products. For Employers As an employer, you have several responsibilities related to WHMIS. You must educate and train workers on how to work safely with hazardous materials and provide them with the tools and equipment to do so. The requirements for WHMIS training are set by each province or territory, so it’s important to check what’s required where you live. This could look like providing general education during on-boarding, showing workers the sites of chemical spill clean-up kits and eye wash stations, and demonstrating how to store products safely, among other things. You should also consult with your workplace’s health and safety committee or representative. It’s vital to make sure you’re doing everything to comply with the HPR and HPA. The penalties for non-compliance with WHMIS legislation are severe: Frist offences may result in a fine of up to $250,000 and/or 6 months in prison For second offences, the penalties may be a fine of up to $500,000 and/or 18 months in prison Indictable offences may come with even more severe consequences, including up to $5,000,000 in fines and/or 2 years in prison Enough to make you sweat? WHMIS shouldn’t be scary—really, it’s about clear and consistent communication. If there are lapses in hazard communication, it’s up to you to address the cause of the breakdown. For Workers For workers, it’s up to you to attend WHMIS training and follow the instructions you’ve received, which include wearing your PPE as required. Even after the amended HPR come into force, it’s important to remember WHMIS is ongoing. Taking a course once isn’t enough. Along with general education, you must receive job-specific training related to the products you work with, and training must also happen whenever there are changes to the materials or new conditions in a workplace. Refresher training should also happen on a regular basis to fight the forgetting curve. As you can see, it’s important to be educated on the WHMIS amendments, whether you’ve used WHMIS for years or you’re taking it for the first time. In either case, if you find yourself needing a refresher, consider the WHMIS 2025 course from BIS. Overall, the transition to the latest WHMIS updates won’t be as dramatic as the changes were in 2015. This time, most fundamental aspects, like the pictograms, labelling requirements, and information on the SDSs remain the same. However, some products may be reclassified or moved to a new category, and it’s your responsibility to make sure products have the correct labels and SDSs. With just under a year until the deadline to move to the amended HPR, it’s a good time to begin looking at the current WHMIS program in your workplace, no matter your role. How comfortable are you with your WHMIS knowledge? What other changes could help make WHMIS more effective in your workplace? Answering these questions can help you identify the next steps to take. Conclusion If you’re wondering how you can learn more, check out our new WHMIS course! This course reflects the amended HPR. Throughout the course there are self-assessment questions, review activities, and a final exam. Upon passing the final exam, users earn a certificate of completion.

Safety Leadership Takes a Team
Safety Leadership Takes a Team Insights from Alex Hollingsworth By Luke Hillenbrand Facebook Twitter LinkedIn How Alex Hollingsworth Transformed Safety for 20,000 Workers Managing safety across a global workforce is no small feat. For Alex Hollingsworth, former Manager of Group Training and Learning at South32, it was a challenge he approached with innovation, resilience, and a relentless focus on improvement. Over nearly three years, Alex oversaw safety training and learning initiatives for 20,000 individuals, including 10,000 employees and an equal number of contractors, spread across Australia, South Africa, and the Americas.His tenure at South32 built on 16 years at Rio Tinto, where he developed global training strategies and honed his expertise in high-risk industries. Alex’s journey offers valuable insights into the complexities of safety management and the power of digital transformation. Background and Expertise When Alex Hollingsworth joined South32 in 2022 as Manager of Group Training and Learning, he brought with him a wealth of experience in learning and development. His role required navigating the complexities of decentralized operations across Australia, South Africa, and the Americas—regions with vastly different regulatory landscapes, cultural contexts, and operational challenges. ————————————————————————— “It’s about building safety systems together so that everyone involvedcan be proud of the achievement and processes that make safety intuitive and achievable for everyone involved.” Alex Hollingsworth ————————————————————————— In South Africa, Alex faced the challenge of adhering to stringent government legislation policies and training requirements that were unique to the region. Safety regulations were often deeply influenced by local labor laws, and the diversity of languages and cultural expectations added another layer of complexity. “In South Africa, you have to account for a workforce that speaks multiple languages, each with their own nuances, while ensuring compliance with highly specific training requirements,” Alex shared. In Australia, where open-cut mining operations have dominated for decades, the focus for achieving safety performance with the power of digital transformation, was on ensuring seamless integration with legacy processes in a way that brought the workforce along for the journey. Meanwhile, in the Americas, the challenges varied widely depending on whether the project was a well-established site or an emerging greenfield operation. In some areas, Alex’s focus was on building training programs from the ground up, ensuring that safety was embedded into every stage of development. “At South32, I learned that no two regions are the same,” Alex explained. “The key was finding a balance between respecting local differences and maintaining a globally unified approach to safety. It’s about building systems and processes that make safety intuitive and achievable for everyone involved.” This ability to adapt and lead across such diverse landscapes highlights Alex’s exceptional skill in fostering a global safety culture that remains effective no matter the regional challenges. ————————————————————————— “Training isn’t something you set and forget. Every change—from new equipment to organizational structural shifts—requires reassessing and realigning on capability requirements.” Alex Hollingsworth ————————————————————————— Lessons from Rio Tinto: A Foundation for Excellence Before joining South32, Alex Hollingsworth spent 16 years with Rio Tinto, one of the world’s largest and most complex mining operations. During his tenure, Alex rose to the position of Senior Manager of Learning and Development, a role that involved overseeing training initiatives for thousands of workers across the globe. “Rio Tinto’s iron ore network is the largest and most profitable single mining operation in the world,” Alex shared. “Managing training in such a high-stakes environment required setting an effective framework for the deployment of consistent and efficient training solutions balancing global consistency with local flexibility.” To achieve this, Alex led a decentralized training model, where training operational teams partnered with operations tailored execution on identifying specific capability requirements and then delivered through a centralized framework to meet specific and local operations strategy requirements regional needs while adhering to global standards. This approach ensured uniform safety practices while addressing the specific challenges of individual sites, from environmental hazards to cultural and regulatory differences. In managing such complexities, flexible and scalable software applications became indispensable. These tools allowed global companies like Rio Tinto to maintain oversight, ensure compliance, and streamlining of training across diverse regions. Few solutions on the market are capable of managing both the global and local demands of safety and training, making adaptable software an essential part of any safety strategy. Key responsibilities during his time at Rio Tinto included: Developing High-Value Training Strategies:Alex crafted comprehensive strategies to ensure consistency in safety and operational training across multiple continents. Fostering a Culture of Safety:Alex prioritized making safety a shared value across all teams, empowering workers to take ownership of their practices. “Safety isn’t just a policy; it’s a mindset,” Alex explained. His focus on collaboration created a unified approach to safety, strengthening practices across diverse sites. Leading through Change:As new technologies and regulatory frameworks emerged, Alex led initiatives to integrate them into training programs, ensuring Rio Tinto remained at the forefront of safety innovation. ————————————————————————— “Rio Tinto prepared me to think big, act decisively, and never lose sight of the people behind the numbers. That focus on people—ensuring every worker is safe and supported—has been at the core of everything I do.“ Alex Hollingsworth ————————————————————————— This foundation proved invaluable when Alex transitioned to South32, where he applied the lessons learned at Rio Tinto to tackle new challenges in safety management. His ability to navigate complexity, implement large-scale strategies, and foster collaboration positioned him as a transformative leader in the safety training industry. Challenges in Safety Management Imagine managing safety for 20,000 workers, including 10,000 contractors, spread across multiple continents, each with its own set of regulations, environmental challenges, and cultural norms. For Alex Hollingsworth, this was the reality at South32. It was a role that demanded more than just technical expertise—it required innovation, persistence, and the ability to lead through complexity. One of the most pressing challenges Alex faced was the company’s reliance on paper-based processes for managing training and certifications. “We printed 150,000 sheets of paper monthly for training documentation,” Alex explained. “It was highly error-prone and laborious, leading to low confidence in our systems.”
