SAFETY LEADERSHIP:

The Principle: "I don't have a right to make my living where it is okay for you to get hurt." ~Richard N Knowles, Belle, WV

The leadership of safety is a key focus in our leadership work. Over 95% of all injuries and incidents are the result of the actions of people. So reducing unsafe behaviors is the path to reducing injuries and incidents. Our processes quickly generate alignment, focus and energy producing visible, easily measured results through the reduction of unsafe acts; this is the path to reducing injuries and results.

SAFETY LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS: We engage the workforce in this practical, hands-on approach which enables the people to see their actual safety behaviors, helps them to co-create and reach rational solutions to their safety issues and supports them as they move forward to doing the real work of building a safer workplace. Often, the participants quickly see how to apply the ideas and skills learned in these workshops to other parts of their business resulting in broadly based , sustainable business improvements.


We use proprietary, proven processes to accomplish this in these 1-2 day workshops. Over 150 of these Safety Leadership Workshops have been successfully run in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in the last 10 years. When management credibly supports this work the injury and incident rates drop to significantly lower levels and the new performance is sustainable.

THE BUSINESS CASE: Since an average OSHA Recordable Injury costs between $25,000 and $30,000, a rapid reduction in injuries results in significant improvements in earnings as well as in employee morale and dedication. Those organizations, who build on the workshops we lead, use the maps we've developed together, and actively support the safety teams and their discussions see rapid improvements in the organization's safety performance - often achieving over a 50% reduction in injury frequency rates in just a few months.

We also have a unique focus in Safety. We can help your business reduce your injuries and incidents by over 50% within just a few months, and at the same time improve productivity and bottom-line earnings.

Each of us has a Safety-related story. Maybe you carry the scars of a safety situation gone bad---or witnessed a situation you hope never, ever, to have repeated.

People who have these in memory tend to understand very quickly why the rules and regulations are important in the workplace. They tend not to take shortcuts that lead to accidents and incidents.

How do we help those who've not had a miserable safety experience to gain respect for safety in the workplace? How can people learn without having to have had the agonizing, body-suffering experience?


Call us and find out about our successful Safety-in-the-Workplace Workshops. You'll quickly find that "what people tend to espouse" and "what people do" are two different sides of the Safety coin; and you'll find that standing on safety principles changes everything!
