A healthy dose of performance pressure is crucial for maintaining optimal levels of production. However, problems arise when levels of production pressure increase to the point that the focus on production starts to overshadow the importance of safe behaviours. Recent Australian data has found that 28% of workers report experiencing pressure from their direct supervisor to prioritise production over safety. Of those, 40% report experiencing this pressure on a weekly basis*. In an environment where supervisors prioritise production over safety, it’s not a question of if an incident will occur, but when and how serious.
This session explores the challenges and implications organisations face when leaders struggle to balance the reality of production demands with a focus on safety. We also provide practical recommendations for organisations seeking to address this issue and achieve a culture of safe production.
