June marks National Safety Month, and at DORN, we’re proud to stand with the National Safety Council and safety leaders everywhere to spotlight the work being done to keep our people safe, healthy, and thriving.
Week 1 is all about Continuous Improvement, and we believe that journey starts with a strong, proactive safety culture. It's not just about compliance, it's about creating an environment where safety is part of the conversation every single day.
At DORN, we’ve seen firsthand that the most effective injury prevention strategies are those embedded in a company’s values, embraced by leadership, and brought to life by empowered employees. Continuous improvement means actively listening to your workforce, learning from near misses and small wins, and constantly adapting to protect your team better.
Revisit our recent blog on building a culture of safety and engagement here or hear directly from the expert himself. In 2023, we sat down with Dr. Steven Simon, the father of safety culture, for an episode of the DORN Injury Prevention Academy Podcast. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Simon breaks down the key drivers behind strong safety cultures and what it takes to make safety stick.
How to Build Momentum This Week:
- Open a safety conversation with your team, and ask what could be improved
- Recognize small wins and safe behaviors
- Encourage peer-to-peer safety feedback
- Revisit past incidents and turn them into learning opportunities
Safety is a living process. Continuous improvement means we never stop asking: “How can we do better—for our people, for their families, and for the future of work?”
Stay tuned each week in June as we dive into other vital themes:
Week 2: Employee Engagement
Week 3: Roadway Safety
