Safety Culture Excellence

Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia. As children we experience things through trial and error and we react to the stimuli in the world around us. This makes the challenge of moving effort in safety away from being mostly reactive, towards being more proactive, a difficult one. There is even a management philosophy called managing by exception. This principle of effective business management many times propagates the reactive mindset because it can encourage people to wait to make any decisions until there changes in situations that then trigger the need.  It has been said many ways, that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Even myself, every week I close out these podcasts with my thought that “In safety, prevention trumps reaction”. Well the podcast this week is a response to another listener’s request. We will discuss ideas on how to help site managers be more proactive vs. just being reactive.
