Greetings, this podcast recorded in Avon Lake, OH. “Most safety culture improvement initiatives either start at the top or the bottom of the organizational structure: executive coaching for senior managers or workforce teambuilding for the rank and file. Some experts believe that safety begins with leadership, others stress that worker behavior has the most impact on safety. Both approaches can achieve improvement. However, there are organizations with good reasons to delay these approaches and start safety improvement in the middle.” – Terry L. Mathis.
In the August 2009 edition of EHS Today, Terry Mathis, the Founder and CEO of our firm ProAct Safety, published an article that I would like to share with you today.

Greetings, recording this week in Marysville, Kansas. Just a quick note about some upcoming public events: On the 15th and 16th of September Terry Mathis will be in Seattle, Washington leading two one-day public sessions that are part of the Safety Culture Excellence Series. On the 15th he will be leading a seminar titled Advanced Tactics for Behavior-Based Safety: Lean Principles & Results Orientation. The following day will be covering Leadership Safety Coaching: Teach Your Supervisors to be Safety Coaches.
Then on the 28th and 29th of September I will be conducting two one day workshops for the Saskatchewan Section of American Society of Quality.

If you would like more information about these workshops or other upcoming events, please visit www.ProActSafety.com and click on the events category at the top.
So on to this week’s topic. “Most people view perceptions as something to be measured; not managed. But I have found that if perceptions are not managed, they will have variance that can cause lack of correct focus in safety efforts. Workers who do not accurately perceive their greatest risks often waste their limited safety efforts on ineffective strategies. Correcting perceptions can direct safety efforts for maximum effectiveness.” – Terry Mathis.
In the June 2009 edition of EHS Today, Terry Mathis, the Founder and CEO of our firm ProAct Safety, published an article that has created quite a buzz among safety professionals and executive leaders.

Greetings from Indianapolis, Indiana. “Because of the reactive approach to measuring and managing safety prevalent in the world today, the true definition of safety success has been obscured. The surface definition of safety success on most safety professionals’ minds is simply a reduction in the failure rate. We have been so busy avoiding failure that we need to remind ourselves what success looks like. The word “success” tends to surface every time the accident rates go down, but does the lack of accidents really equate to safety success?” - Terry Mathis
In September’s edition of EHS today another of Terry’s articles was published. We received some great feedback from the article, including a request to record it here for the subscribers of Safety Culture Excellence. So the podcast this week is a reading of the recent article “What Does Safety Success Look Like? by Terry Mathis. It was published on the 1st of September, 2008 in EHS Today. The online article can be found at: http://ehstoday.com/safety/management/safety_success/index.html
