Visible Felt Leadership

Visible Felt Leadership starts from the top; it is the management’s total actions that lead people at all levels to understand and “feel” their leaders’ high standards and expectations and accept their strong commitment to safety as being genuine, caring and respectful.

It is essential that leaders walk the talk and change their own behaviour to become role models for the organisation, and by doing so, influence and change other people’s behaviour.

Knowledgeable and competent workforce

A capable organisation is one that invests in its workforce, ensuring that employees have the right skills and knowledge to perform their activities in a safe and efficient way.

We make all employees responsible for ensuring that they understand risks, follow the rules and only perform the tasks they have been trained for. Managers are responsible for ensuring that employees are fit for the task, are informed about the hazards when carrying out their activities and are trained to perform these tasks safely.

The most effective design processes begin at the earliest opportunity during the conceptual and planning phases of a workplace. This is where you have the greatest chance of finding ways to prevent hazards and incorporate effective risk control measures and efficiencies.

At Nutreco, we believe that a well-designed and well-maintained workplace is a healthy and safe workplace where hazards and risks are eliminated or minimised as much as reasonably practicable.
It is also where the work-design optimises human performance, job satisfaction, innovation and productivity. A safe and well-designed workplace should have the following positive elements in place:

• Protects employees from harm to their health, safety and welfare.

• Improves employee health and wellbeing.

• Improves business success through higher employee productivity.

Last but not least, NuSAFE integrates a “just culture” approach. A just culture is where employees are recognised for their positive contribution and not punished for actions, omissions or decisions that correspond to their daily tasks, or training that they have had. Of course, gross negligence, wilful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated. A just culture environment ensures employees remain motivated. It is important that people take care of themselves and of each other in addition to learning from each other.

We are engaged to implement a world-class safety culture, in which everyone embraces safety – not because they must, but because they want to. A culture in which all employees know that safe behaviour is considered professional behaviour, and that it is everyone’s duty to return home safely every day.
