Safety Culture Excellence

Hello everyone this is Shawn Galloway the host of Safety Culture Excellence. As you listen, you can tell this is not one of our normal podcasts, this is a special one to inform you of an upcoming webinar. On the 04^th of December 2008 we will be hosting a free one hour webinar titled, “Intro to Lean Behavior-Based Safety.”  While we are putting this on at no cost to the participants, you must qualify to be able to attend. To find the registration type in proactsafety.webex.com do not type in the www, just proactsafety.webex.com.

If you are not familiar with Behavior-Based Safety, it is a systematic method of identifying the precautions most critical to accident prevention and reinforcing and refocusing workers on these precautions through workplace coaching then responding to leading indicator information and common practice data; rather than identifying the holes in your safety system with accident data. 

Since 1984, BBS has proven to be an effective tool for the reduction of workplace accidents.  As we all know, the business climate has changed dramatically; and what people find is that most approaches to Behavior-Based Safety have changed little. Even a proven technology with documented results must eventually evolve or become obsolete.

Lean BBS is a customized approach that utilizes aspects of performance and quality systems to drastically reduce the internal resource requirements of a BBS process. Lean BBS was founded on the business philosophy of achieving maximum results with minimal expenditure of resources. Borrowing proven techniques from Lean Manufacturing™, Six Sigma™, and experiences from hundreds of successful BBS implementations, Lean BBS has proven to be an efficient approach to an already effective process because it is a collaboratively developed results based methodology. Whether you are new to Behavior-Based Safety, or if you have an existing process and you would like to learn some new ideas, check out the webinar at proactsafety.webex.com

Have a great week!
