A reactive safety culture means accidents, incidents, and issues are only dealt with when it’s too late to prevent them. But is there a more effective way of dealing with safety issues?

A proactive safety culture is all about keeping 1 step ahead. If you can resolve an issue early, it’s less likely to lead to a safety mishap later.
