Sound Familiar? “I’ll just be a minute, I don’t need the harness.” “When I get caught, I’ll worry about it.” “I don’t have the time.” “I’ll fix it next time.” “Accident Reports aren’t important… They just like paperwork.” “I’ll comply until they stop watching me.” “I’ve been doing it this way for 30 years.” “I don’t need that respirator, it isn’t going to hurt me.”
Why is Safety Important to You? Occupational injuries and illnesses
Why is Safety Important to You? Fatal Work-Related Injuries
Best Practices • Safety as an Inherent Core Value • Senior Management Buy-in • Safety Perception Surveys • Set Clear Expectations • Well-Developed Safety Program • IIPP and a Safety Program • Near Misses & Accident Investigation • Manage Workers’ Compensation Claims • Aggressive Return to Work Program
Best Practices • Training • Foreman Toolboxes • Consistent Message • Communication Methods • Monthly Safety Newsletter • Monthly Training Schedule • Jobsite Audit Schedule with Foreman • Weekly Tailgate Meetings • Safety Metrics • Performed at ALL Levels of Company
Why Lagging Indicators Don’t Work • Historical: Can only React to Them • Doesn’t provide Context of Why it Occurred • Laceration Counts the Same as a Fatality • Serious Near Misses Don’t Count at All • Wait until end of year to see how many Employees got Injured • An Annual Target to Reduce Incident Rates Provides Little Guidance Other than Fear
Advantages of Leading Indicators • Proactive System • Identifies Specific Areas for Improvement • Raises the Bar Systematically: Focused Approach • Can Quantitatively Track Areas of Achievement and Subjective Areas
Measurement • If you are not measuring it, it is probably not getting done. • If you are not measuring it, you can’t control it • What management measures and rewards usually gets done effectively • Performance Reviews, Promotions, Bonuses • Safety Incentive Programs • Discipline Policies • Don’t blame the injured worker for a faulty Safety Program: 99 Times
