Greetings this week from Bury, England. In the audio podcast this week I will be focusing on some of the most common process metrics (that we encourage companies to consider) when implementing or improving a Behavioral Approach to Safety (Behavior-Based Safety - BBS). As this is part two of three-part podcast series, I encourage you listen to part one before moving forward. Have a great week!

Greetings this week from Palatine, Illinois. Dr. Peter Drucker once said, “What gets measured gets managed”; of course my follow up always is: “If you don’t understand what you are measuring it will still be hard to improve.” In all of our years and experiences auditing and improving all of the major approaches around Behavior Based Safety (BBS); we have found that the most difficult aspect and the area that most sites struggle with, is sustainability. I truly have a belief that if a project fails, it is not that it failed in the end, most likely it failed in the beginning. So to that I am really excited about the audio podcast this week, as it is the beginning of a three part series that focuses on Behavior Based Safety Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This audio podcast will start looking at the initial implementation metrics that are used by clients with single locations to organizations rolling this out across multinational facilities. I hope this brings you value and you can find new ways to measure your progress.

Hello this week from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. In the audio podcast this week I will be talking about two popular acronyms, SWAT and SWOT and a brief example of how they can apply these to safety. You will hear me tie this to two themes. First it is my belief that we need to be continuously looking for ways to continuously improve in safety. Even when we reach zero our efforts should not decrease. Heck most sites hit zero accidents… on the 1st of January every year. Second it tends to work best if you can identify the opportunities to improve by listening to the culture. Ray Stata the co-founder of Analog Devices once said, “The Rate at which an organization and individuals learns learn may well be the only sustainable competitive advantage”. Moreover Marshall Goldsmith’s Book “What Got You Hear Won’t Get You There” summarizes these principles very well and is a good read.

Hello from Paris, France. For the audio podcast this week I will present an idea, essentially the way that I tend to look at gathered observation (Precaution Taking and Identified Risk) data. Unfortunately the vast majority of other processes that we audit, not enough are sites and methodologies are focusing on the data by responding to the collected insight and most importantly communicating the findings back to everyone involved. Peter Drucker once said “Success always makes obsolete the very behavior that achieved it.” What we’ve done to get us to this point today, doesn’t mean that by doing the same will continue to produce future results. We have to be looking for new ways to provide value in safety for those that we work with. - Shawn Galloway
