Sustainably improving safety culture?
You can. With hein.



Hein gets people all over your organisation to examine own behaviour, as well as the behaviour of their colleagues, in a different light. It gives rise to open dialogue, which sheds light on the mindset that informs behaviour. Employees discover this deeper layer themselves, gain insight and start taking responsibility for their actions and those of others in practice more often. From inside out, and in a fun way. This is how hein achieves lasting improvement.

Some clients opt to apply the concept to other themes beside safety, and this works just as well. Hein leads to new breakthroughs every time.

‘Behavioural programmes have to fit in with the workplace and with higher management. Hein appeals to both.’






‘The hein approach is different: it comes from within, it’s personal. In the very first round we saw surprising results come out from within.’




Bernard Fortuyn, Member of the Board of Directors and Country Sector Lead Energy at Siemens Nederland NV

‘Leadership first, and you’ll get safety for free.’





Serious accidents in the construction industry are closely related to culture. It’s too “tough”, there’s not enough leadership. This has to change, from country to country, down to the sub-sub-contractors. BAM has a leading role to play here, and so does hein: ‘This is deep, it has real impact.’



Geert van der Linde, Corporate safety officer at Royal BAM Group

‘We wanted more feedback and less cubicle culture, but hein gave us much more.’





‘The results are better than we had anticipated, according to Erik Blom. ‘ It’s had a much bigger impact than we had anticipated and it has made it much easier to communicate with each other. Hein allows us to get more out of each other; an important step forward.’

Full interview

‘Safety is in our DNA here, so how do you manage to keep surprising experienced people on the annual safety day? More importantly: how do you give them something they can use every day?’




Fauzia Aouden, Programme manager at Schiphol Safety Platform


Full interview

‘ Our audit scores have skyrocketed.’






The hein method is truly different from other safety initiatives, which usually boil down to finger-wagging. Hein, on the other hand, focuses on communication and humour.




Paul Beljaars, Project leader Nieuw Hoog Catharijne


Full interview

‘It explicitly addresses topics that are recognized by everyone, but are rarely voiced.’





‘What we really needed was to be more involved with each other and the organization as a whole. If you want a culture of open communication, you have to be open to criticism yourself. Hein can get things moving.’



Roel Vollebregt, General Director at AM
