Safety Improvement

Your company, no doubt, has a reasonably strong safety program. Your management team has devoted time, money and personnel to the safety and health department. Expected to enforce compliance with procedures and policies, these safety professionals do a magnificent job in tens of thousands of facilities and jobsites all over the country.

However, the question must be asked: How effective is your safety program if your employees aren't fully engaged? You can have the most vibrant Behavioral-based safety system, with observations and reviews conducted on time and in check. Your OSHA 10-hour training records can show 95% successful completions. Your safety record can reflect zero or very low incident rates, better than the industry benchmarks.

Why then, are you sleeping with one eye open? Because you know that at any moment, calamity comes to the door. Some of the most horrific explosions, spills, employee injuries and worse have occurred at jobsites with the best safety records. Why does this happen? Sure, occupational hazards and fatalities have reduced over the years, according to OSHA statistics. Safety personnel are getting better trained in emergency response, confined space safety, air quality issues and general risk management. New products are always being introduced designed to improve HazCom, fall protection, infectious disease control. So, why then do we have the same amount of risk, even though we are better at risk management?

The missing topic in everyone’s safety conversation seems to be engagement. KL&P Motivation is all about boosting the levels of employee engagement through a variety of strategies that encourage discretionary effort. More than theory, we’ve put into practice with our clients the following fact:
