Safety Culture Peter Jacobsson Environment, Safety & Health Presentation at SSM visit 2018-10-24 www.europeanspallationsource.se 10 May, 2019

What are we talking about? Safety Culture determines Safety Climate. However, culture and knowledge cannot be shaped like a technical system. Behavior is dynamic and an engineering perspective won´t work. Many attempts have been failed in the past. In particular challenging: How to grow culture in an international organization of mainly engineers and physicists. Safety Culture Safety Climate

How to reach the hearts and minds of people Key question: How to set conditions for people so they can realize safety as their own intrinsic motive. Our guiding principles: Creating trust by supporting the people in their safety duties. Creating trust by appreciating people´s ideas regarding safety and by actively involving them into the development of safety measures. Respect the technical and system expertise of the people. Making safety top of everyone´s agenda. Motivate everybody to report incidents. Using positive reinforcement by rewarding employees who adhere to risk, health and safety policies.

Building a Safety Culture at ESS Training Mission Safety Culture Tools Communication Engagement & Initiatives

ESS Vision and mission Our vision is to build and operate the world’s most powerful neutron source, enabling scientific breakthroughs in research related to materials, energy, health, and the environment, and addressing some of the most important societal challenges of our time To do this, we commit to deliver ESS as a facility that:  Is built safely, on time and on budget Produces research outputs that are best-in-class both in terms of scientific quality and in terms of socioeconomic impact Supports and develops its user community, fosters a scientific culture of excellence and acts as an international scientific hub Operates safely, efficiently, and economically and responds to the needs of its stakeholders, its host states and member states Develops innovative ways of working, new technologies, and upgrades to capabilities needed to remain at the cutting edge

Mission We share the philosophy together with our site construction partner: “We work safely or we do not work at all” Clear message from DG and Management Safety Objectives 2018

ESS Safety Objectives 2018 and ESS Objectives 2018: a virtuous circle   ESS Objectives 2018 ESS Safety Objectives 2018 Two key reasons for talking about ESS Safety Objectives, and to make them more ‘visible’ to the ESS people, are: the crucial role they play in the achievement of the ESS Objectives (as shown in the drawing) The need to make the ESS community more aware of what safety means, how it is (or should become even more) an integral part of what we do, and why it matters to the success of the ESS construction and operations.
