Safety Culture Excellence

Greetings from Toronto, Canada and show number 84! This week I’d like to talk about what we call a Personal Safety Focus. The idea is: Do you have things that go beyond rules, policies and procedures that you can focus your people on that minimizes or prevents their exposure to risk? Now obviously if you do not have the basics in place, those three things should receive priority attention. I’m of the belief that safety has been truly successful when it can be taken with people, when it is portable. When we only think about safety as on the job, we miss out on helping our people where they are more likely today to get injured. Is most countries, it is not at work. When safety is successful that means that it was interesting and helpful enough and caused people to share the strategies with their families. If you are truly effective in safety, the people you’ll help the most are people you might not ever meet, their family members, and their neighbors. Do your people relay your safety messages? I hope you enjoy this topic, here we go!

Have a great week!

Greetings from Sheffield England. This week we will conclude the second part of the series by  listening in to Terry’s Seven Steps that an organization can go through, taking what they have accomplished at work and transfer it off the job. We hope you can take some of these ideas and start sharing them with your employees.

Thanks and have a great week!

Greetings from Glasgow, Scotland. This week we will begin a two part topic titled, “Off the Job Safety, Why It Should Be An On The Job Issue”. Organizations which have become excellent in on-the-job safety, are still suffering the effects of off-the-job accidents both to their workers and to the worker’s family. Accidents are now the number-one cause of death and injury to Americans between the ages of 1 and 44 years of age. Four of five of these events happen off the job. It is time to take our excellent workplace safety and export it to the rest of the nation for both economic and altruistic reasons. Off-the-job deaths and injuries now account for four of five absences from work. Organizations benefit significantly promoting off-the-job safety by decreasing the impact of non-work related injuries to their employees and employees’ families. The intent of this two-part series is for you to find out how easy and profitable an off-the-job safety initiative can be.

Thanks and have a great week!
