June is National Safety Month

Safety Challenges are Still With Us!

national safety monthIn times like this, when the business and production activities are ramping up, there is a real danger that safety problems will show up. Any time the level of activity changes, up or down, is a time of danger.

Talk with the people about these issues as well. Every day have tool box or pre-start meetings to talk about the challenges for the day. Ask the people what their biggest hazards are for the day and what they are doing to prepare for them and to protect themselves and the processes. At the end of the day, have another safety conversation and reflect on the day and whether the things that they talked about at the start really helped. Talk about the surprise for the day and how they overcame these challenges.

Keep the safety dialogue going. One of the best ways to show that you really care about the people is to work hard on the safety front. Go into the workplaces, listen, talk together, and build collaboration, helping everyone to work towards a healthy, safe and profitable business.
