Everything we do starts and ends with putting people first. Both in the execution of the project, and working with our clients in partnerships.
And you can feel that…
1.
We all agree that safety is important and that we need to do more with it. But what does safety actually mean? For some it is procedures, for others safe machines, or a culture of accountability. The key is to form one clear vision together.
2.
If you ask an employee, ‘What is your job?’, you will often get answers like ‘driving the forklift’ or ‘loading and unloading pallets’. But how do we make safety an essential part of those core activities? The same applies at organisational level: how do we make safety a guiding compass in every decision?
3.
Operational workforces are usually not awake to a 10-year plan. What is expected of me today and how can I contribute to that within my capacity. Translate ‘we need to get there’ into ‘how do we do that in the here and now’.
4.
Working on safety culture can be done in 1001 ways. But where do you start to really make a difference? Take an honest look at your organisation’s safety maturity. From the slogan: ‘don’t start a marathon before you can walk’.
5.
Safety does not happen in the meeting room. Safety is the combination of day-to-day, conscious choices on the floor – where work takes place and people work together. So not too much bla bla in endless powerpoints, but in having conversations with people who matter.

You do all sorts of things but see no change? Well, cause and effect are not always immediately apparent when it comes to safety. We are used to looking for the most logical solution to a problem. However, we have learned that sometimes you need to look at the deeper layers of the organisation to find the right lever.
He who helps, He who protects.
At the service of people.
We totally agree with that.
True work safety is only achieved when your safety policy is supported by people.
That is what we believe in. Those people who go for safety every day: their own and those of others, are for us the modern Samurai.
The security heroes. They are the reason why we want to commit to safety every day. On safe behaviour. On a safety culture.
Working with Samurai, therefore, is making change work. Everyone sets their own unique path in motion. This establishes us as a clearly different player.
