At OPSC we believe that the primary reasonability of leaders has several parts: Keep your employees safe; Develop your employees; Behave in a Legal, Moral, and Ethical fashion; Achieve the desired results. Frequently safety performance lags behind the others.
Safety is not the responsibility of the Safety Manager, it is the responsibility of all leaders and has to start with the behaviors, the actions of the leader at the top. Safety improvement requires people to interact, to engage in positive conflict and accountability, to challenge themselves and those around them, and to fundamentally start with an honest look in the mirror. As a leader you have to create the culture and culture is the result of similar and consistent behaviors. There is a theme!
Our approach to safety improvement is to fundamentally change the behavior of all, together, with one goal - no one gets hurt. Our method is proven, uses behavioral based interactions, with concrete and measurable activity that will result in a safer workforce.
