The Three Reactions to Change
Safety Science Innovation Lab
How are you managing safety in your store?“ I’m not worrying about safety anymore, we’re
just getting on with our job”
“ We’ve kept everything in place, this is the way I know to manage safety”
“Finally we can do something to impact safety in our store, nobody reads posters”
Preliminary Results
Safety Science Innovation Lab
** As the trial is ongoing, interpret these results with caution
§ Removal of safety procedures does not decrease store safety§ Ownership and locus of control appear to shift safety
perception§ Managers take a different approach to safety leadership
Key Takeaways
Safety Science Innovation Lab
1.Innovate and Evaluate
2.Support and resource any change you are going to make. Innovations and interventions fail not because of the
ideas but because of the lack of buy-in 3.Ask questions and listen to the
answers
