Safety Culture Excellence

I hope that you would agree with my belief that training is only as effect as the reinforcement system that follows.

“Lurking inside that required annual safety training is a golden opportunity. World-class safety organizations are increasingly utilizing safety training to build mindsets and skills that are aligned with corporate goals and values. Far from dull, repetitive compliance training, these classes are challenging portals to new levels of safety excellence. These organizations did not transform their safety training overnight. The transformation began with a new awareness of what could be accomplished when you take your workers out of the workplace and put them in a classroom. The notion that even a repetitious annual rehashing of the same material could serve a double purpose inspired a few visionary safety professionals to experiment with the possibilities. The result has been a series of paradigm shifts that could benefit other companies that have not yet tapped into this potential.  Paradigm shift #1 Training is an opportunity to focus and motivate.Paradigm shift #2 Training’s strategic goals go beyond simple compliance.Paradigm shift #3 Training is ONLY an initiation tool. Paradigm shift #4 Follow-up makes training effective long-term”  -Terry Mathis, CEO ProAct Safety, Inc This Podcast includes a reading of an article “Training’s Golden Opportunity: Using Compliance Classes to Reach Strategic Safety Goals” which was the cover story and published in June, 2004.
