On a construction site, we experience the many challenges of different safety\r\ncultures. <\/p>\r\n

We install wind turbines worldwide and the teams usually consist of various employees from around the world. Regional, internal and external (sub-contractor and customer) cultures must be brought together to avoid any incidents: everybody is responsible for the safety culture on site.\r\nPreparation is key for success. Beside the technical preparation it is also important to create a country specific awareness of the local culture. This gets often totally underestimated. \r\nIn a lot of cases, safety is focused on paper work and handbooks rather than about actually getting all the information across to the people on the field. \r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Site leadership, training and supervision need to be improved to adequately deal with these challenges.<\/p>\r\n
