15 ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS How to begin a Positive Safety Process Chris Goulart MS, CSP, ARM, CDT RCI Safety AEM CON/EXPO EDUCATIONAL SESSION 15 15

16 Words Versus Actions Have you ever heard one of these at work? We have an open door policy here We need to be politically correct We are always proactive Employees are our most valuable resources Safety is our most important value This is a Best Practice I ll call you back today with an answer I ll think about it We want to do this, but 16 16

17 Some Classic Examples Elliott Spitzer John Edwards Tiger Woods Pete Rose Bill Clinton Mark Sanford Richard Nixon Others? 17 17

25 His Last Day 25 25

26 Good advice is hard to find 26 26

27 Consider these Words Be mindful of risk all the time Always be careful Expect the Unexpected If it can go wrong it will? 27 27

28 What words are important Safety Vision and Mission Statement Well-Designed Written Programs Written Management Commitments Appreciative Feedback Education and Direction 28 28

29 Let s Talk about Employee Motivation In order for employees to take personal ownership for safety, they must be motivated to do so What are the two primary motivators for employees to work safely??? Traditional Safety Culture relies on the former more than the latter

30 Traditional Safety Culture Failure Oriented Typically person focused not workplace focused Based on Rules and Regulations (what I say) Somewhat like a Merry-go-Round And there s nothing w rong w i t h t raditional safety if you are happy with the ride 30 30

31 Using Negative Management Techniques* Performance rises immediately before a deadline Negative talk by employees is commonplace Performance stops after a goal is reached If accountability is removed performance stops immediately *From Daniels 31 31

32 Why do we use punishment so much? Punishment is easy and gets dramatic results Punishment is reinforcing for the person administering the punishment Punishment get only avoidance behavior and does not reinforce anything. Causing bad behavior to go away doesn t mean that it will be replaced by the behavior you want 32 32

33 Positive Culture Moving from Fault Finding to Fact Finding Understanding that true human error is controllable and is based, not on intentionality, but results from on multiple factors Avoids the Zero Injury, Zero Fault, and Zero Harm Myth Ensures that all employees can engage in a meaningful way in the job

34 To Create a Positive Safety Culture There needs to be a brief discussion on the role of behavior in the workplace What are the reasons for people to engage in certain actions and to not engage in others? Why is it so difficult to get people to do what is required to be safe? Why are actions so much more difficult to create than words? 34 34

35 How does Culture align with Motivation and Action??? Individuals are motivated by the outcomes their actions achieve Aligning actions to be in synch with expected cultural norms is natural Understanding how results impact decision making and behavior is CRITICAL 35 35

36 Analyze this Event 36 36

37 How to talk to employees (make words more powerful with actions) Understand the motivations that drive actions. Make safety personal Remove cultural barriers and organizational norms that prevent safe work actions Have credibility by reinforcing safe work habits whenever you can Always focus on the positive Coach instead of discipline 37 37

38 In a Positive Safety Culture of ACTION (Action Based Safety Culture)! Based on success with a focus on accomplishment Emphasis is on Behavior not Outcomes Focuses on working toward achievement not the avoidance of failure People work safely because they want to People are not blamed for their unsafe actions There is a shared accountability and responsibility 38 38

39 To Positively Impact Safety Use words to provide instruction, motivate action, coach, and REINFORCE Don t use actions that contradict the words Understand that people are motivated to work towards things and that safety is almost exclusively the realm of people working to avoid things Now everybody
