Shoot for TRUE SAFETY: The process involves constant attention, evaluation and re-evaluation

摘要

Breaches in safety typically occur at numerous levels when warning signs go unheeded, meaning someone must be in charge of safety, and equipped with a plan for every phase in the operation. The question the safety director must resolve is if policy and employee practices actually ensure practical, tangible and authentic safety measures. True working safety emanates from the small reliable procedures in a process that is always changing. Each measure by itself may not appear safety related, but administered correctly, each step contributes to a desirable condition I call true safety. My own routine begins every Saturday morning at the garage at 3 a.m. I need this extra time to fine-tune my safety program without interruption. I start with over-pit inspections to ensure the reliability of the buses going out on the highway that day.
