Greetings all! For the video podcast this month, I'd like to share with you one of my models that explains my theory on how we can help people internalize a needed focus in safety. If we want people to be safe, this means risk-free. For this to happen, safety strategies need to be portable and facilitate internalization. I hope you will use these steps to help the people you are supporting in safety. You can either watch the video here at www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com, or you can watch it below from YouTube.

We have received requests for older podcasts that are no longer available for download on this website. We are looking into why these old podcasts are not able to be accessed. It appears the application expires some of these once they reach a certain age. Even podcasts can have an age complex!
Soon to address this, we will start making some of these older podcasts available through a small purchase that can cover our costs to provide them on a CD or memory stick and ship to your location.

Greetings everyone from my home in The Woodlands, Texas. This year I begin to not only promise to provide weekly audio files to help you improve safety; I will be publishing monthly videos as well. We will keep these videos under 10 minutes in length so they can be used in quick meetings. This month I ask the question, do you have a personal safety focus for 2010? Many of us make New Year’s Resolutions, but what will we focus on in 2010 to help us stay safe?
I would like to encourage you to consider watching what you are standing on, climbing on and walking on this year. In many countries the number one cause of accidental death in the homes, are slips, trips and falls. There are two life precautions that can help prevent this from occurring to you: Eyes on path/work and Footing. Below are some examples.
1.Eyes on path/work (keep eyes in direction of travel and task)
a.When walking keep eyes on path of travel. (i.e. looking behind while backing up)
b.When operating mobile equipment always scan ahead for pedestrians & obstructions.
c.Maintain focus on surroundings, body position, and equipment when performing a task
2.Footing (stay on designated walkways/3-point contact on stairs)
a.When walking up/down stairs use handrails and take one step at a time.
b.When climbing up/down ladders use 3-point contact and keep body facing toward ladder
c.Maintain 3-point contact when (getting on/off a equipment)
What are some other examples you can think of? Consider sharing these with a group of people and ask them to identify examples of how these precautions could help them remain safe.
Thank you again for tuning in and let’s keep 2010 a safe year!
Greetings from Toronto, Canada and show number 84! This week I’d like to talk about what we call a Personal Safety Focus. The idea is: Do you have things that go beyond rules, policies and procedures that you can focus your people on that minimizes or prevents their exposure to risk? Now obviously if you do not have the basics in place, those three things should receive priority attention. I’m of the belief that safety has been truly successful when it can be taken with people, when it is portable. When we only think about safety as on the job, we miss out on helping our people where they are more likely today to get injured. Is most countries, it is not at work. When safety is successful that means that it was interesting and helpful enough and caused people to share the strategies with their families. If you are truly effective in safety, the people you’ll help the most are people you might not ever meet, their family members, and their neighbors. Do your people relay your safety messages? I hope you enjoy this topic, here we go!
Greetings from Sheffield England. This week we will conclude the second part of the series by listening in to Terry’s Seven Steps that an organization can go through, taking what they have accomplished at work and transfer it off the job. We hope you can take some of these ideas and start sharing them with your employees.
