About Us

Repeat after me – very slowly:
Corporate Culture can be gradually moved toward a new culture,
Good management include risk management,
Risk management includes safety management,
Safety efforts reflect the cultures of managers.

 

My positive respect for safety awards and recognition programs dates back to college and the study of sociology. For me, sociology was the study of groups and the affects of groups on the members; but at the same time, a member or a group of members can affect the group. Your corporate is a group; each department is a group; a committee is a group.
Roll up together: prevention, risk management and safety and pit it against corporate culture. Why pit it? We’re not in conflict. But, why is it that we often feel that risk and safety management are in war zone with management? Perhaps, we need to rethink our design of risk and safety strategy towards achieving a slight, ever so small, bending of the corporate culture and its safety culture.
My experience with safety awards and safety recognition programs is very positive. Success begins with a standard that is simple and easy to understand. The loss period is usually a three-year window; each year one year drops off and another year is added. Managers see a bad year dropping off and a better award may arrive next year. Presentations are made to corporate officers and the board of directors. Awards are presented ready to hung on a wall. We have bent the corporate culture ever so slightly.
