Behavior-Based Safety Management (DOGY®)

With our Behavior-Based Safety Management (DOGY®) Project, we’ve touched thousands of lives by understanding, communicating, and transforming employee experiences.

Safety Culture Transformation is a process that fundamentally changes an organization’s values, beliefs, behaviors, and practices related to occupational health and safety. This transformation aims to create a safer and healthier work environment, taking steps to develop and nurture a robust safety culture.

As these changes take shape, employees from all levels and roles within the organization are involved, actively listened to, and engaged in the process. Supported by tailored training and custom internal communication campaigns, the organization embarks on a path of meaningful, sustainable transformation in its safety culture.

We have touched tens of thousands of lives with our “Behavior-Focused Safety Management” (DOGY®) Project, which understands, explains and transforms employee experience.

Project Goals

Establish clear, trust-based communication and interaction between managers and employees: This communication is essential for shifting behaviors towards safer practices.

Empower employees to take ownership of the safety culture and develop a strong self-regulation system: This reinforces safe working habits and encourages ongoing commitment.

Reduce behavior-driven accident frequency using Behavior-Based Safety Management (DOGY®) principles: Our approach is designed to minimize workplace accidents through proactive behavior changes.

Enhance employee knowledge with regular training and awareness programs: We focus on raising awareness of safety culture and behavior-based safety principles, ensuring that employees have the information they need to contribute to a safer workplace.

Achieve a sustainable safety culture transformation with the active participation of all employees: The involvement of everyone in the process ensures long-lasting cultural change that sticks.

Monitor the effectiveness of the process through performance indicators and feedback mechanisms: This helps continuously assess and improve the success of the transformation.

Safety: Creating an Environment Where People Truly Feel Safe

Safety is more than just policies—it’s about creating a workspace where employees feel genuinely secure, both physically and psychologically. When people feel safe, they communicate openly and share their experiences without fear or hesitation.

The DOGY® project is a journey built on the foundation of trust. We understand the challenges companies face when building this ideal safety culture—it’s no easy feat. It takes time, commitment, and a deep understanding of the human element. That’s why we’re here to guide and support organizations through every step of this cultural transformation.

At ARTI, we take pride in adapting this globally recognized approach, integrating it with our local culture and language to make it truly impactful. While the road to a fully embedded safety culture can be tough, our expertise and tailored solutions will help you navigate the complexities, ensuring lasting change that sticks.
