5 STEPS TO SAFETY Corey S. Martin The Safety Climb is a safety program assessment and development tool designed for safety professionals and company management. The model aims to provide safety leaders with a mechanism for evaluating, visualizing, and communicating the current state of the safety program and overall culture. Unlike other assessment models that rely on KPIs and leading/lagging indicators, The Safety Climb is designed to take a broader view and provide higher-level guidance for assessing and approaching safety program improvement. Because of this, The Safety Climb can be applied to a wide range of organizations, industries, and safety programs.
