Safety Culture Excellence

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.
