In workplace safety, creating an effective safety program hinges on a crucial element: accountability. A robust accountability system not only ensures adherence to policies and procedures but also leads to overall improvement in efficiency, quality, and proactive safety practices. However, the challenge arises when teams fail to hold individuals accountable. This is where the concept of a "data-driven safety culture" comes into play, transforming how organizations approach safety and accountability.

I have been a safety professional for over 20 years and I love talking about the back brace argument. Why? Because after 20 years, I’m still on the fence.

This is a controversial subject and with good reason so join me as we walk through the pros and cons of back braces (with a little input about ankle braces as well!)

When you start involving employees in your safety program they become more engaged, energized and excited about safety. The idea is not just to involve them in a mandatory way, but to make them WANT to be involved. Safety is not a necessary evil. Your employees can and should be excited about safety.

So, how do you get employees involved in your safety program?

So many times when an accident happens we look at the direct cost that comes in the form of medical bills or repair estimates. The actual cost of medical services needed to take care of an injury might not be much, but when you take the time to look at the big picture, you recognize that the cost is much higher. Why? Because there are indirect costs involved. Today, I’m challenging you to get in the habit of quantifying those costs.

JHA’s are living documents and should be in active use in your facility. They break a job task down into steps and then for every step associate the hazards for those steps and how to mitigate them. The common use for a JHA is for training and possibly for a pre-operation review. But there is so much more you can do with a JHA.

I’ve been using a method of recordkeeping for 10+ years and today, I get to share it with you. It’s a little different than what you might be used to, but whether you have 20 or 800 employees, this method will save you so much time. I’m sure of it.
