The Safety Attitude Management System (SAMS 1.01) was developed by DISC Belgium bvba. This system places a great deal of importance on welfare and wishes to improve safety and safe conduct inside organisations.

SAMS 1.01 is intended as a supporting safety programme in your company. SAM – ‘Safety and Me’ – is the central focus of your campaign, a means of creating a shared awareness of safety and the need for prevention in support of a dynamic risk-management system.

SAMS 1.01 is a new ‘safety attitude management’ programme that supports a dynamic safety process at all levels of the company.

• Reduce the likelihood of incidents by promoting ‘safety as a company value’
• Support the development of a safe attitude by emphasising and rewarding safe (=positive) behaviour and raising awareness of risky behaviour
• Providing practical support to a dynamic safety policy without interfering with the tasks and responsibilities of the Committee for Prevention and Protection at Work (CPBW) and the Internal Services for Prevention and Protection at Work (IDPBW)
• Giving a practical response if the company has to comply with the requirements of question 4.2 of the Safety Checklist for Contractors (VCA 2008).
• Creating a working environment where everyone has the chance to work safely
• Seeing safety as part of the job rather than as an additional requirement
