Bonjour! Recording this on the road in Colmar, France.The topic this week, “Can You Name Your Last Three Safety Committee Successes?” says a lot about team effectiveness and communication. This is a question we always ask when assessing volunteerism or some employees call it voluntold. Either way, when we are looking at improving an existing team or creating a new one, we have to look at past effectiveness and perception of effectiveness.If people do not view past teams or committees as effective, they are less likely to want to be on one. Now is that perception accurate or not? Often we find that with the average safety team or safety committee, the only ones that know of their successes, are the members themselves and unfortunately, no one else. Sometimes the improvement efforts do not need to focus on effectiveness; it is communication that needs the help.So Terry and I would like to share our thoughts on this topic and how to assess this issue in your organization. So let’s get started…
Buongiorno! Recording on the road this week in Milan, Italy. It is easy for an organization to fall into the trap of overreacting to an accident or incident. The way we respond to the event, most definitely impacts both the culture, and the future reporting of accidents/incidents/mishaps. Yet, not enough attention is placed on this topic. Terry and I sat down and provided our thoughts on this. We welcome you to provide yours either as a comment on the site (www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com), or by emailing us at podcast@proactsafety.com. So, on with the topic!
Greetings from the road this week in Barnsley, England. Before we get started with the topic for this week, I wanted to let you know that we have identified the dates for ProAct Safety’s Annual Conference. If you would like to mark it on your calendar, it will be the 6th – 8th of April 2010. I hope you can make it out, as we would love to see you there!
So for this week, we have an 8-step recommendation for responding to an accident after implementing Behavior-Based Safety.
1.Set Realistic Expectations
2.Stress the Importance
3.Stress The sense of Vulnerability
4.Ask the question do we have the behavior or precaution on our checklist that could have helped prevent or minimize the injury?
5.Ask what is the percent safe for that precaution?
6.Ask could we have seen this coming?
7.Ask how long until we can get on top of this?
8.Ask what can I do as a facilitator and coach to help you help us improve safety?
So Terry and I are going to discuss all of these steps in length. With that let’s jump into the discussion about these guidelines…
Greetings! Recording this podcast live in Orlando Florida. Recently we were at NSC’s (National Safety Council) 2009 Congress and Expo. We both spoke on some important topics during the conference, and we thought it would be fun to record a live podcast on the show floor; to celebrate 100 podcasts! While this was, we realize it is not the same sound quality you are used to so my apologies in advance for that. If you have any difficulty with the sound, keep in mind that we transcribe these podcasts and place the text (what we call show notes) on our website at www.proactsafety.com and click on insights then podcasts.
This week we wanted to share a very simple three-step coaching model for coaching for safety performance. As you listen to this model consider how easily it can be applied to other performance objectives. I’d like to thank those of you who participated in the live recording and also those who took the time to stop by our booth and say hello. It is always great to meet the listeners to this podcast in person as you are the reason Terry and I record these podcasts. I hope you are sharing these topics and the principles of safety with your coworkers, friends and families.
Greetings everyone, my name is Shawn Galloway, I’m the President of ProAct Safety and the Host of Safety Culture Excellence.

This week is the first of many videos to come.
If you only have time to focus on one thing in safety this month, what would it be and how will it help create a safer world for us all? Thank you so much for all that you do to help us create a safer community.
