| Does Punishment Work? Absolutely but Probably Not | 13 Feb 2020 | 15:39:00 | |

| T.H.A.N.K.S. for the Feedback | 29 Jan 2020 | ||
In order for a consequence like punishment to be effective, we must come in contact with the consequence. Using threats in an attempt to avoid danger or damage are simply idle threats that can be a dysfunctional practice that kills your safety culture. | |||
| Align for the Front Line | 14 Jan 2020 | 12:44:00 | |
By the time workers find themselves in a position to take risks, we have already lost. There were a whole host of behaviors, done by a host of other people, unaware they have participated in perfectly creating the conditions for workers to take risks.

| Talk the Talk! Your Safety Culture needs a Shave. | 01 Apr 2019 | ||
WHO HAS BEEN IN A TRAINING CLASS where some consultant is teaching you
about “Culture”? But, in reality, deep down inside where these things are

The whole program is run by the safety department and few anointed safety
enthusiasts who do the observations or supervisors, who have observations

Your annual injury rate is a static number. It can define your safety

working so hard to reduce that rate only to have it bounce around
arbitrarily. | |||
