It is hard to argue with the fact that in business, the only thing constant is change. In addition, as we all know, we had a few more resources available to us in the past, than in today’s lean environment. Aside from a few new names and some successful re-branding campaigns, Behavior Based Safety has changed little. While the approaches have certainly had some successful results, those results were a byproduct of reaching the goal which was to complete an implementation of Behavior Based Safety. Rather, than the goal being defined as ensuring (and being held accountable for), results. Change is needed for these technologies to be sustainable and supportable at all levels in the organization. The reality of today is you have to have a focus on both short-term and long-term results, if you are going to be successful at achieving Safety Culture Excellence. This three-part series is about those results. This Podcast published on 18 February 2008 also includes a reading of the article “Lean Behavior-Based Safety – How the Process is Evolving to Survive in Today's Economy” which was published in May, 2005.
