Greetings from Corpus Christi, Texas. This week we will be providing part three of this four part series. As always if you have not listening to the previous audio recordings of this topic, I encourage you to do so before continuing; as you will be joining the middle of a conversation. Today we’ll listen in to Terry Mathis discuss a few key things such as the power of focus. What one thing if you do differently would provide you with transformational improvement? Most sites we work with around the world are putting out the appropriate amount of energy towards safety. Generally what we find is the opportunities to further improve come from identifying what they really should be focusing on and measuring proactively. We will also discuss the differences of a do as your told philosophy vs. empowering discretional effort. Following that we will discuss the need to create a sense of ownership and pride for safety, the dangers of malicious compliance/avoidance behavior and finally clear, demonstrated communication.

Terry Mathis (Founder and CEO of ProAct Safety) lead an online webinar recently for Occupational Health & Safety titled “Building Your Bridge to Safety Culture Excellence” Is an excellent safety culture the chicken or the egg? How do you truly weave safety into the fabric of cultural activities? How do you integrate safety initiatives so they synergize rather than compete for resources? How do you ultimately build the bridge between your current results and true world-class excellence? “The last frontiers of safety excellence can only be crossed by organizations with mature and highly functioning safety cultures.” – Terry Mathis

 

This seminar explores the integration of cultural formation in the overall picture of safety excellence efforts. The webinar will provide actionable strategies gained from experience innovating safety excellence with more than 125 organizations and 900 global engagements. Learn how to define the tools, the processes, the timetables, and the range of options for creating a truly exceptional safety culture, which produces truly excellent safety results.

The webinar can now be found and played on demand by navigating here: http://ohsonline.com/Webcasts/2008/09/Proact.aspx

Greetings from Anaheim, California. This week I will be focusing on (part two of this series), how to get out of the avoiding failure mindset and move our thoughts and efforts more proactively. If you think about it, proactive effort is the opposite of reactive effort. Many sites tell us that they perceive themselves as highly proactive. Certainly this might be the case, ask yourself this: what is the level of activity pre-accident vs. post-accident? In addition, how much do you trust your pre-accident or predictive data vs. how much you trust accident data?

I hope you enjoy! If you would like to download this file, all can be found at www.safetycultureexcellence.com Thanks and have a great week! Shawn Galloway ProAct Safety

Greetings from Manchester England! In July of this year (2008), Terry Mathis the CEO of our Firm (ProAct Safety) delivered a Webinar titled, “Is Safety About Achieving Success or Avoiding Failure?” for Occupational Hazards (now EHS Today). The entire event can be viewed at: http://ehstoday.com/webinars

 Since then, we have had such an overwhelming response from the participants that would like to have this information in a way that can be delivered to their site without having to stream live over the internet. Due to the length of the talk and size of the recording I’ve split it into four parts that will be provided over the coming weeks. I hope you enjoy! If you would like to download this file, it can be found at www.safetycultureexcellence.com  Thanks and have a great week! Shawn Galloway  ProAct Safety

Hello from South Wales! There are many things I love about working with global organizations to help them understand and improve their safety cultures, and reach and sustain a level of excellence. My favorite is the opportunity we are provided to take a multidimensional approach within many different industries. Because each engagement is unique the principles we apply will vary. Of all of the background sciences, one of my preferred fields has always been performance management.  All you have to do, is perform a simple search and you will find that there are some fantastic books and information available. In the audio podcast this week, we thought we would share one of our simple models that you will find is easy to understand and most importantly, easy to repeat.    

Have a safe week everyone! Visit http://www.safetycultureexcellence.com for the audio file. Have a great week! – Shawn Galloway, ProAct Safety
