Two good articles on this topic:

Sites all around the world are facing this challenge. We have to fight that much harder to remind people that safety really is the way we do things, not another thing to do. Consider that we are put to the test during these challenging times – what priorities really do come first, will be the question of many. It is analogous to swimming in calm waters. As the waves increase you have to swim that much harder to stay afloat. It is my belief that to accomplish this is not necessarily a matter of spending more; you just have to stay that much more focused and results-based on the vision. Lastly you have to demonstrate, demonstrate, and demonstrate the value of safety. As Emerson said - “What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say.”
