Greetings, this podcast recorded on the road in Bethesda, Maryland. For this week’s podcast I’d like to share an article that was fun to write and is to me a fun topic, visible support for safety. The article was titled, “Heard It Through The Grapevine” and was published in April 2010 edition of Incident Prevention Magazine. The published article can either be found at http://www.incident-prevention.com or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com. I hope you enjoy this reading of "Heard It Through The Grapevine"!
Greetings, this podcast recorded on the road in Denver Colorado. In the podcast last week I provided an audio recording of an article of mine that was published in the April Edition of EHS Today. It was titled "Assessing Your Safety Culture in Seven Simple Steps".
For the podcast this week I would like to provide the follow-up article that was published in the May 2010 edition of EHS Today. This one was titled, “Establishing A Culture Of Safety Excellence: Strategies Worth Repeating". Both of these articles can either be found at www.EHSToday.com or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com. I hope you enjoy this reading of Establishing A Culture Of Safety Excellence: Strategies Worth Repeating!
Greetings, this podcast recorded while on the road in Toronto, Ontario. After seventeen years of working on and developing safety cultures, we receive comments and questions on a weekly basis on how to assess a safety culture. A lot of people believe it can be performed solely by completing a safety perception survey. Remember perception surveys are an indicator of a safety culture, not the indicator of safety cultures.
If you really want to understand your culture, you have to properly assess it. However, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. I realized that there isn’t anything out there that properly describes how to internally accomplish an assessment of a safety culture. So based on ProAct Safety’s experience of assessing over 1,100 safety cultures, I decided to write an article on how to do just that, in seven simple steps.
The article was published in the April 2010 edition of EHS Today. It can be found either at www.EHSToday.com or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com. I hope you enjoy this reading of Assessing Your Safety Culture in Seven Simple Steps!
If you happen to find yourself at ASSE Safety 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland stop by our booth (2912) or come hear Terry and Shawn’s talk (details below) on Wednesday and Thursday. Hope to see you there!

Speaker: Terry L. Mathis
Topic: Session # 814 – Teaching Supervisors to Become Safety Coaches
In this seminar, you will learn to turn supervisors, who are often an obstacle to safety, into safety coaches who can identify and modify the behaviors that cause accidents. The coaching skills taught will also help improve many other areas of worker performance and build supportive relationships between supervisors and workers. Learn to:
· Train supervisors on coaching skills they can use to assist workers in becoming safer and more productive
· Motivate supervisors to participate in safety efforts and make it an important part of their job description
· Focus safety efforts on a list of precautions that are within the power of supervisors and workers to control
Greetings everyone for the podcast this week, I’d like to share a short video I recorded on the scientific model that addresses the importance of never driving and talking on the phone, often called, Distracted Driving. I also hope from this short video you will understand why it is such a bad idea to ever allow new drives to drive distracted. The title of the video is Never Let Your Kids Drive While Distracted: The Science Explained. You can either download this short clip here from this site (www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com) or watch it below from or on YouTube.
Like all the other videos, articles and podcasts, I hope this prompts some thoughts to assist you in being the best leader you can be!
