Auditing Reduces Accidents by Eliminating Unsafe Practices. Royal Dutch Shell has adopted a strategy to help prevent accidents by helping change the view towards safety as the personal responsibilities of everybody. The policies for Royal Dutch Shell are very straightforward. Shell attempts to maintain health and protect from harm, adopt high standards of safety consciousness, and reduce waste materials that have a negative impact on the environment. Shell s safety performance over the last 25 years has shown considerable improvement, but there are still many accidents.
Human behavior is often the creator of risk in the working environment.
As a result, Shell emphasizes safety performance by influencing the behavior of people in the organization, from the top to the bottom.
