ENDORSED BY: IMPORTANCE OF PROMOTING “SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING” CULTURE A "See Something, Say Something" Culture is a simple and effective practice that significantly contributes to maintaining a safe working environment. This means that employees are encouraged to speak up and report any concerning behaviors, safety hazards, or potential issues they witness to ensure a safe work environment. Proactive reporting will help management address hazards that have the potential to cause critical injuries or significant property damage.
