Safety Week Day 2 – Encouraging and Welcome New Ideas 

Author: Charter

For Day 2 of Safety Week, we’re delving into the importance of encouraging and welcoming new ideas in our safety practices. At Charter, we believe that innovation is key to continuous improvement, and that includes listening to the valuable insights and suggestions from our team members. 

One of the cornerstones of our safety culture at Charter is the acknowledgment that great ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their position within the company. We actively encourage all employees to share their thoughts, suggestions, and innovative solutions when it comes to enhancing safety protocols and procedures. 

A prime example of how we embrace employee ideas is the implementation of the HCSS safety application across all our project sites. This initiative stemmed from suggestions made by our employees who recognized the need for a more efficient and transparent safety reporting system. By listening to their feedback and taking action, we not only improved our safety processes but also demonstrated our commitment to valuing employee input. Tapping into the collective knowledge and creativity of our workforce has enabled us to identify innovative solutions and opportunities that we might not have otherwise considered.   

At Charter, we understand that safety is not a static concept; it requires constant evaluation and refinement. By actively soliciting and implementing employee ideas, we foster a culture of continual improvement where safety practices evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of our workforce and industry.
