Procedures and Policies are NOT the Final Step in Safety Excellence

Final StepFinal Step 80% of Injuries have been Eliminated with Current Safety

Practices (e.g. Safety Audits, Existing Safety Programs, Safety Equipment,

Mandatory Training, etc.) This has involved a Low Percentage of the Workforce to Accomplish

The Elimination of the Remaining 20% CANNOT be Achieved by Enhancing Existing Safety Programs, Tools, etc.

Changing BehaviorsChanging Behaviors In Order to Eliminate the Remaining 20% of Injuries, It will take a

Personal Commitment to Change Your Behavior with Respect to Safety

This requires the Involvement and Commitment of 100% of the Organization

This also requires Employing New Methods of Preventing Injuries

How Do We Get There?How Do We Get There?

We Must Choose to be Safe for Ourselves, Our Families and Our Fellow Workers, because We Believe it is the Right Thing To Do, not because Someone Told Us to do it!

SAFETY MUST BE A VALUE!NOT a PRIORITY!

How Do We Get There?How Do We Get There?

Continue to Drive Leadership Alignment Throughout the Organization

Empowering the Workforce to Make Safety Decisions

Move Beyond Compliance and CHOOSE to Work Safely

Drive “Building L.I.F.E.” (Living Injury Free Everyday) Culture Throughout Turner
