What does “managing safety” mean to you?
Solutions
Admin controls: procedures, policies, programs
Engineering controls and PPE
Insurance (safety net)
Training can address our need to communicate risk management for all these elements.
It’s about managing risk by controlling:
• People—the human element
• Locations (jobsites, corporate office)
• Things (assets—equipment, buildings)

Prevailing Views on Safety Training
Employer Majority • Check the box—compliance • I don’t understood it’s value
because I can’t measure the return on it (ROI)
• It gets in the way of production
• Training is ineffective because it can’t change human behavior in any real way
• “Why isn’t training solving the problem?” (Because the root cause is procedural or cultural)
Employer Minority • Integrated approach to risk
management • Training plan • Investment in the
individual—human capital is our greatest resource: hard and soft skill development
Message: training says the employer “cares about you…providing you with the tools to succeed” • Effective training saves the
company money

Sully’s keys to safety management
• Proactive—don’t let bad fortune come to you!
• Success is not measured by the absence of an accident but rather by the presence of safety—are we consistently doing things correctly?
• Team approach—set the tone, communicate expectations and align goals.
• Create an environment of shared responsibilities for the outcome.
He credits a “robust safety system…and being trained to a high performance standard…”

The devil is in the details
Keys to make training effective: Information or knowledge
must have a direct application
Has it been developed with the end-user in mind (stakeholders)
Is the learning experience memorable, will it “stick”
Does the learner understand what they are being taught

Thoughtful training…
• Quality safety training and education programs say we care and want to invest in you.
• Messaging safety: do something daily to keep safety relevant—tool box talks, pre-task planning, casual discussion, etc. = “touches”
• “What get’s measured and rewarded gets done”.—Dan Peterson (Safety by Objectives)
