Workplace safety has improved through better equipment, systems, and training. Yet thousands of preventable injuries and deaths still occur each year. Why? Because many employees see risks but remain silent. The real danger isn’t ignorance—it’s silence.
This eBook explores five Crucial Conversations® that, when avoided, put workers and organisations in jeopardy:
- Get It Done – Unsafe shortcuts taken to meet tight deadlines.
- Undiscussable Incompetence – Skill gaps that remain unspoken but create risks.
- Just This Once – Exceptions to rules that compromise safety.
- This Is Overboard – Dismissing safety precautions as excessive.
- Are You a Team Player? – Risky behaviours justified for the sake of the team, company, or customer.
Research shows that while the majority stay silent, a small minority who speak up effectively prevent harm in 63% of cases. When organisations train employees to hold these conversations, safety incidents drop dramatically, sometimes by more than half within a year.
By breaking the code of silence, organisations can build cultures of candour and accountability that protect employees, improve morale, and drive performance.
