Social Engineering for Safety Culture Change Terry Evans, Division Safety Manager Boise Cascade Company Vice-Chairman, APA Safety and Health Advisory Committee Sustainable safety cultures are built not by fixing the holes in the floor or guards on machines but by fixing the process people use to make choices in their work environment. Social Engineering is the process of influencing a group to make decisions in a certain pre-directed manner. We are exposed to social engineering through advertisement campaigns, political campaigning and government propaganda. We will look at the ways to use these techniques to influence your workforce to make better safety decisions. 4 SAFETY & HEALTH WORKSHOP
