What Does Safety Success Look Like?
Dec 7th, 2008 by safetyculture
Greetings from Indianapolis, Indiana. “Because of the reactive approach to measuring and managing safety prevalent in the world today, the true definition of safety success has been obscured. The surface definition of safety success on most safety professionals’ minds is simply a reduction in the failure rate. We have been so busy avoiding failure that we need to remind ourselves what success looks like. The word “success” tends to surface every time the accident rates go down, but does the lack of accidents really equate to safety success?” - Terry Mathis
In September’s edition of EHS today another of Terry’s articles was published. We received some great feedback from the article, including a request to record it here for the subscribers of Safety Culture Excellence. So the podcast this week is a reading of the recent article “What Does Safety Success Look Like? by Terry Mathis. It was published on the 1st of September, 2008 in EHS Today.
