Re: Safety help?

I'll chime in here ---
Safety is a verb -- an action. Everything that is stated here will help drive you towards being a safer team. Safety really starts with changing your team's culture around safety. As Carol stated abouve Dupont IMO is the industry leader in safety and has tremendous resources in that area. When we were part of Dupont (Conoco) we took a step change in our safety culture - not our rules. It is a mindset that no matter what ALL accidents are preventable. The Take Two program she talks about is very short easily understood concept - Take Two seconds to think about it before you do any task. We instituted a Behavior Based safety process two years ago and our students have really taken to it. Using this has really driven our team to change our culture in a positive way. This then spills over to the design and building. You'll start to see people incorporate it into their personal habits as well. Once that happens you know you have been successful!

Let me know if this helps.
