Tarheel ASSP Virtual Meeting – Ethical Decision-Making Tools for Enhancing Organizational Safety Culture – Dr. Bob Emery – BCSP Ethics Credit

Topic Ethical Decision-Making Tools for Enhancing Organizational Safety Culture

Recent investigations of several tragic events have repeatedly identified the absence of a culture of safety as a common contributing factor. An organization’s safety culture is a collective reflection of individual decisions made by its workforce, each carrying with them ethical implications. Safety culture, good or bad, is the sum product of many individual ethical decisions, yet the notion of ethical safety decision-making is not often discussed. This presentation will describe ethical dilemmas OSH professionals can encounter, and how the decisions that are made can impact an organization’s overall safety culture. A set of ethical decision-making tools will be presented, along with a suggested path forward for actually improving the safety culture within an organization.

Learning Objectives

• Define the key terms ethics and safety culture
• Describe how ethics and safety culture are inextricably linked
• Articulate one example of an ethical decision-making tool or resource that can assist with improving safety culture
