Odisha State Safety Conclave – 2017- The culture of safety starts with leadership- Governor.

Bhubaneswar, Dt. 10.11.2017-Developing a culture of safety is a journey. Once that framework
becomes embedded in individual life or in an organization, you will find that the
culture starts to change and results improve. Until an organization reaches the
point where everyone owns the system and believes in it, until it enters the
hearts and minds of the people to become a very part of who they are as an
organization, that system and culture of safety is not sustainable. The culture of
safety starts with leadership. Leadership drives behavior. And behavior
establishes culture. Therefore, effort should be made on developing a
sustainable culture of safety, said Governor Dr. S.C. Jamir.
Inaugurating 8 th Odisha Safety Conclave – 2017 at Bhubaneswar
Governor said, every industry or company desires safe operations but the great
and abiding challenge is to translate this desire into action. The answer is not
found only in written rules, standards, and procedures. While these are
important and necessary, they alone are not enough. The answer is ultimately
found in the industry or company’s culture – the unwritten standards and norms
that shape mindsets, attitudes, and behaviours. It is people only who apply and
operate technology.

It is important to develop a mindset that safety is not proprietary. It is by
constantly learning and analyzing – by looking to best practices in other
organizations, and by examining incidents, and near-misses – that we
continually improve our own performance, Governor added.
Governor urged upon industries to instill the value of safety in employees
from the first day, so that it would help creating a working environment in which
safe behaviours are internalized, reinforced and rewarded.
France K. Morule, South African High Commissioner stressed upon
adoption of best practices and technology to ensure safety in different
processes. Anu Garg, Principal Secretary, Labour & Employees State
Insurance, Debabrata Panigrahi, Managing Director, IQEMS, Subrat Panigrahi,
Director, IQEMS, H.S. Mohanty, Head Jury Committee, S.N. Borkar Director,
DGFASLI, Government of India, Vinod Kumar, Chairman, Safety Conclave
among others spoke on the occasion. Governor gave away Kalinga State
Safety Awards- 2016 to different organizations.
