New JLG Whitepaper Outlines Six Steps to Adopting a Culture of Safety

JLG Industries Inc. is an Oshkosh Corporation business and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers. Recently the company announced a new whitepaper, Adopting a Culture of Safety. This paper outlines six steps companies can take to create a safe, productive workplace. Topics addressed in the paper are how to adapt EH&S programs to meet safety expectations, implement strategies for training and coordinate successful shift-to-shift handoffs. There are also insights for planning for emergencies, utilizing signage and regrouping to prevent repeat mistakes.

Building on the concepts and strategies outlined in its earlier whitepaper, 10 Tips for Creating a Safety-Focused Work Culture, JLG points out in the Adopting a Culture of Safety whitepaper that creating and maintaining a workplace safety culture go beyond following OSHA standards, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), following training videos, having safety captains and issuing incident reports. The most effective workplace cultures aren’t the error-free ones. They are the ones who are relentless in their effort to learn and improve from mistakes as they happen — and, most importantly, they work to prevent them from happening in the first place. 

In this new whitepaper, JLG offers immediate steps companies can take to adopt a safety culture within their organizations. These can be a fundamental part of an organization’s operations and a critical component of the company’s long-term success.
