12. Seven Golden Rules of “Vision Zero”




1.Take leadership –
Demonstrate
Commitment.

Be a leader – wave the flag!
Your conduct as a leader is
decisive for the success or
failure of safety, Health and
Wellbeing in your company.

13. Vision Zero Initiatives
I.Facilitate Mindset Change Through Vision Zero
Leaders

Leaders play a critical role in effecting the mindset change as
they are in the best position to engage and empower their employees
towards Vision Zero. Leaders who are passionately committed to Vision
Zero could serve as role models for other leaders to encourage greater
cross learning and sharing of best practices, as well as to nurture more
and better Workplace Safety Health leaders. The leaders could also work
through WSH initiatives within the respective companies’ business
activities to influence communities.
“The leadership commitment provided by senior leaders in a
company is the fundamental requirement for achieving excellence
in Workplace Safety Health performance.”
JOURNEY TO VISION ZERO IS NOT A REVOLUTION BUT AN EVOLUTION

14. “When the leaders and management team of a company view Workplace Safety
Health as a priority, it inadvertently shapes the company’s culture towards
embracing Workplace Safety Health as a way of life. This is the key, only when it
is a way of life, it becomes the norm.”
I would like to distinguish “leadership” from “management”. Management
looks at oversight and maintenance of systems. Leadership goes beyond that
to influencing behaviors and eventually the organizational culture.
Leadership is about pushing boundaries, communicating a compelling WSH
vision, making WSH expectations clear, being involved in key decisions on
WSH issues, being positive and supportive of WSH efforts through the
provision of resources, and creating and insisting on a safe, healthy and
caring company culture. It is a constant demonstration of dedication towards
safety and health by the leadership team and all others in the organization.

15. 2. Identify Hazards –
Control Risks.

Risk Assessment serves as the
essential tool for the timely and
systematic identification of
hazards and risks and to
implement preventive actions.
Accidents, injuries, and near
misses should be evaluated.

Health and Wellbeing requires

24. Vision Zero should be viewed as a journey rather than a
destination. Considering that it would take time to adopt the Vision
Zero mindset, it would be important to develop performance
measures to track progress and facilitate regular reviews. These
measures should include both leading indicators as well as outcome-
based indicators

25. Early efforts should be focused on achieving support
and buy-in from the industry. The use of well designed projects
as pilots could help provide the compelling economic and moral
case for Vision Zero.
II. Provide a compelling case for Vision Zero

26. The “Five E’s” of Vision Zero
The “Five E’s” are a common framework used in safety
to categorize the types of projects and improvements that will
lead to systemic change. These are namely:
Education
Engineering
Encouragement
Evaluation
Enforcement

We encourage Businesses to incorporate two more E’s–
“Engagement and Equity” as they work toward a Vision Zero
program that is inclusive, impactful, and transparent. Keep in
mind that all the categories of recommendations are interrelated
and interdependent.
VISION ZERO CANNOT BE ACHIEVED WITH A FOCUS
ON ONLY ONE OF THE E’S ALONE.
