Safety Views Cues: What People See Shapes They Do

The most dangerous part of a workplace is often what no one notices. Small shortcuts, accepted workarounds, and repeated behaviors slowly blend into the background until they become "the way we do things here." Safety VIEWS Safety CUES reveals how those patterns form-and how leaders can interrupt them before they lead to harm. From David Allan Galloway, bestselling author of Safety WALK Safety TALK, comes a powerful new look at how workplace behavior is shaped long before an incident occurs. While his previous book focused on how leaders influence culture through what they think, say, and do, Safety VIEWS Safety CUES explores why people follow certain behaviors in the first place. Through stories, practical examples, and behavioral science, Galloway introduces the Views → Cues Loop(TM)-a practical framework showing how workplace culture is shaped through what people see, how they interpret it, what gets reinforced, and what eventually becomes accepted as normal. Inside the book, you'll discover: - Why shortcuts gradually become normal- How trusted employees influence group behavior- How pressure changes decision-making- Why people follow cues over procedures- What leaders can do to intentionally shape safer work >Practical, thought-provoking, and highly relatable, Safety VIEWS Safety CUES challenges leaders to look beyond policies and procedures-and start paying attention to the signals that are truly shaping the work. Because if you don't intentionally shape the cues surrounding the work, the work will shape the culture on its own.
