World Class Safety Culture
Creating Sustainable Safety Through Understanding and Belief
What do you do when you have a world class Safety Management System but you are not getting world class safety results?
Most organizations have a robust Safety Management System. It has been REACH's experience that the system is not the problem, it is the practical application. Too often, personnel have strayed from the original purpose and intent of the system. REACH finds that most people do not understand why these tools are being used and the value they bring.
Coaching allows personnel to effectively use the Safety Management System. It creates the buy-in to use the tools, even when it is two o-clock in the morning and no one is watching. Personnel demonstrate the correct behavior because they understand and believe in the tools.
If you care enough for someone, you will intervene and STOP him from coming to harm. Watching him coming to harm was wrong, and we were wrong in the past!
