Greetings all! For the video podcast this month, I share a very simple, yet effective model for coaching for performance. Specifically, safety performance. I hope you will see how this coaching model can be applied to any area of human performance.
Greetings all! As you may already know, a few months ago I became a columnist for COS Magazine. Aside from contributing articles monthly, I’ll be contributing videos as well. When up in Toronto recently; I recorded several videos in their studio. The video column is titled Culture Shock. In the first video I talk about achieving safety culture excellence. You can either watch the video here, or directly on the magazine’s site at: http://cos-mag.com/component/option,com_seyret/Itemid,100092/id,102/task,videodirectlink/ or you can watch it at Youtube.
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!
Greetings everyone for the podcast this week, I’d like to share a short video I recorded on the importance of safety habits. The title is Making Safety a Habit: But Which One. My apologies in advance for the poor lighting in the video. Ironically I recorded this in a hotel called The Nordic Light in Stockholm, Sweden. While the hotel was fantastic, the lighting in the room wasn’t great for recording a video. As a result you might not be able to see my face clearly; some would see that as a positive! Nevertheless, I hope you find the message worthwhile of 5 minutes of your time. 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!

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/.
