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.

Terry Mathis (Founder and CEO of ProAct Safety) lead an online webinar recently for Occupational Hazards titled “Is Safety About Achieving Success or Avoiding Failure?” We have defined safety for so long as the lack of accidents that we are beginning to lose sight of the objective. When accidents go away for a while is it because of safety success or is it simply luck or normal variation? This free webinar explores what safety might look like rather than simply the lack of accidents. Learn the ten signs that safety is at work in your organization and how to tell if the accidents are responding to your efforts or other forces.

Greetings this week from Indiana, PA - The Christmas Tree capitol of the world! Recently we received the following question: “… Right now i’m struggling with convincing the senior leadership that our good [safety] rates shouldn’t be good enough. Any advice?” Terry Mathis and I thought it would be helpful to respond to this question through a recorded podcast. Visit http://safetyculture.podbean.com for the audio file.
I hope our thoughts are helpful!

Greetings this week from Bury, England. In the audio podcast this week I will be focusing on some of the most common process metrics (that we encourage companies to consider) when implementing or improving a Behavioral Approach to Safety (Behavior-Based Safety - BBS). As this is part two of three-part podcast series, I encourage you listen to part one before moving forward. Have a great week!

Greetings this week from Palatine, Illinois. Dr. Peter Drucker once said, “What gets measured gets managed”; of course my follow up always is: “If you don’t understand what you are measuring it will still be hard to improve.” In all of our years and experiences auditing and improving all of the major approaches around Behavior Based Safety (BBS); we have found that the most difficult aspect and the area that most sites struggle with, is sustainability. I truly have a belief that if a project fails, it is not that it failed in the end, most likely it failed in the beginning. So to that I am really excited about the audio podcast this week, as it is the beginning of a three part series that focuses on Behavior Based Safety Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This audio podcast will start looking at the initial implementation metrics that are used by clients with single locations to organizations rolling this out across multinational facilities. I hope this brings you value and you can find new ways to measure your progress.

This first podcast is an introduction to the firm and the series. If there is one thing that you should take away from this, it’s a reminder that in safety, prevention trumps reaction.
