The Path to a Risk Elimination Culture
A Risk Elimination culture is not an 8 hour a day event nor is it limited to a
single type of activity. Instead it reflects an attitude that represents a person’s
core values. In order to achieve a Risk Elimination culture all employees must
embrace it as a core value.

In order to develop a Risk Elimination culture a holistic approach needs to be
taken that transcends the workplace and EHS. Employee need to understand
the reasons and benefits of a Risk Elimination culture and embrace it both on
the job and off.

There are three doors on the way to a Risk Elimination culture, the first is
awareness, the second is process and procedures and the third is integration
as the way business is done. Fundamental to this is an understanding of the
risks.
