Adopting the Principles
The Safety Governance Principle® goal is to embed the culture and practice of safety governance within the marketplace.
It is to encourage a culture of ethical and legal responsibility and accountability for an organisations’ inputs and outputs within their marketplace activities and their impacts on providing a safe outcome of the work they conduct.
Adopting the Principles brings the following benefits to organisations of all kinds:
- Provides a common framework. The Principles are the international best practice for how to achieve effective safety governance. They aim to ensure consistency and ambition within and across different countries, as well as signalling that an organisation is committed to achieving the highest international standards.
- Supports organisations implementing safety governance excellence. Adopting the Principles is a statement that an organisation seeks to be open and responsive to its stakeholders.
- Creates a place for high level commitments for safety governance in the marketplace.
- The Principles work with organisations, to build support and provide consistency around safety governance policies.
- Adopting the Principles is a straightforward process, with organisations making a high level commitment to the principles and sharing how they intend to implement the Principles.
