Greetings everyone for the podcast this week, I’d like to share some thoughts on a simple element that can go a long way in making a leader effective. This brief video is titled: Standing Side By Side - A Tale of an Effective Leader. You can either download this short clip here from this site (www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com or watch it below from YouTube.
I hope this video prompts some thoughts that help you become a better leader and communicator.
Greetings everyone! This is the first Sunday of the month (February 2010) and as promised we are publishing a video podcast today. This podcast is titled: What Defines an Accident or Incident? Terry Mathis, the Founder and CEO of ProAct Safety shares his thoughts on this topic. You can either download this short clip here from this site (www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com or watch it below at YouTube.
I hope this topic prompts some thoughts that are useful in improving safety within your organization.
Parting thought (even though it is off topic), if you triggered to make a call or text while driving, please wait until you get to your destination or pull over. Too many lives are taken that are preventable by this simple request. Please take it into consideration.
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 everyone! Just a quick announcement while I’m snowed in at a hotel in Omaha, Nebraska (winter is definitely here…). I have uploaded the Intro to Lean Behavior-Based Safety video to YouTube. Due to the requirement that the videos can be no longer than 10 minutes, I had to break it into six sections. As some of you know I previously uploaded it in its entirety to this site last December, however I have come to realize that this site’s host is having difficulty now playing the previously published videos. You can still download it the full video here: http://www.safetycultureexcellence.com/2008/12/21/intro-to-lean-behavior-based-safety-video-by-proact-safety/.
If you would like to watch the six segments at YouTube, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/ProActSafety. The six sections are below the description.
Intro to Lean Behavior-Based Safety
Length: 60 Minutes
Presenter: Terry Mathis, Founder & CEO - ProAct Safety
Host: Shawn Galloway, President & COO - ProAct Safety
What You Will Learn:
What is Lean BBS®? - Lean is not just less
Why this approach has become the most successful in the industry
What options are available for Behavior-Based Safety in today’s lean atmosphere
How Lean Behavior-Based Safety works in logistically challenged organizations
The typical results that a company should expect
How to identify if your company is not ready for Behavior-Based Safety
How to ensure success and trust with represented workforces (Labor Unions)
Why customization is vital if sustainability is your goal
Existing processes - critical questions and easy to spot waste
What it takes to ensure success of a Lean Behavior-Based Safety approach
Lean Behavior-Based Safety is based on the philosophy of achieving faster accident reductions with the minimum internal resources and external cost requirements, ultimately achieving a more sustainable internalized continuous improvement process.
Borrowing proven techniques from Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and experiences from over 1000 successful implementations, Lean Behavior-Based Safety has proven to be the most efficient and practical approach to an already effective theoretical process.

Greetings everyone, my name is Shawn Galloway, I’m the President of ProAct Safety and the Host of Safety Culture Excellence. As you are aware since January 2008 we have provided free weekly audio podcasts to help you achieve and sustain excellence in safety. Starting in 2010 we will add monthly videos that you can use for your own professional development, or to help motivate the safety element of the culture. 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.
