Together, we can change this.
If we all do just one thing, just improve workplace safety by one percent, that’s 29,000 people that get to go home without harm, instead of ending up dead – each year. 29,000 husbands, wives, partners, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, friends, and co-workers. 29,000 humans.
You can support the high impact work we do at the One Percent Safer Foundation right now by making a donation – no matter how small, every donation is guaranteed to make a difference.
“By having a healthy, constructive challenge to H&S processes and procedures produced by people in organisations who have never been out on the ‘shop floor’ to talk to those doing the work.”
Phil Cantrell
“I will encourage my colleagues, especially non-safety, for greater ownership of responsibility for safe performance in their spheres of influence. The more people looking out for their own and others’ safety, the better overall vigilance and oversight of workplace safe activities and behaviors.”
Farooq Badar
“I will be a safety champion by making people realise that not being safety conscious has ripple effects on their families, friends, loved ones and economy of the nation. Many benefit from the wages paid to a safe worker. When wages are stopped due to preventable incidents, no one caters for the family. The loved ones they support are affected. The grocery sellers lose income. Tax deduction to the government is also affected. Using the above analogy has helped me galvanise people to be safety conscious in all they do.”
Abdulrafia Jimoh
“The idea I have been using is that I try as much as possible to discuss HSE related matter to everybody in the same way of preaching the gospel.”
Taiwo Temitope
“I will contribute to a safer organization and world by connecting psychological safety, well-being and physical and emotional health with employee safety through cultural evolution. The ‘end game’ is to provide people with safety as a value, not as an obligation or rule.”
