High Performance Safety
Basic "safety programs" tend to yield minimal results that are often inconsistent from year to year. The typical traditional safety program approach is characterized by:
- Reliance on enforcement of rules and regulations,
- Overemphasis on lagging indicator measurements,
- Lack of employee "buy-in"
- Inspecting for unsafe conditions
- Regulatory training
- Abdication of supervisor / management safety responsibilities
- View that safety is safety department's job
- Safety viewed as an "add-on"
By contrast, high performing safety cultures are different. Rather than treating safety as a program, it is viewed as a core organizational value and is fully embraced at all levels. Safety is seamlessly integrated into work tasks. Safety becomes instinctive to employees as a result of the supportive environment that is collectively created through demonstrated commitment, clear leadership, personal responsibility, active accountability, and effective feedback mechanisms. Such cultures produce real results that are consistent, predictable, and sustainable.

REAL Safety Today, many companies struggle with improving safety performance. They have been down the road with traditional OSHA compliance-based programs only to be disappointed with less-than-stellar results. Many have tried employee-focused behavioral modification techniques with varying results.
Moving an organization to safety excellence requires a holistic and systematic approach. Far too often companies use a "shotgun" approach to shaping their safety cultures. As a result, many change efforts fail.
The REAL Safety process is an Organizational Behavior-Based (OBB) safety management system that gets results. It is centered on an operating philosophy and that views all incidents as operational errors. It deals with organizational realities buried within the existing culture that impede safety performance. Most importantly, REAL Safety focuses on total organizational behavior – not just employee behaviors.
REAL Safety moves your safety process upstream from reactive to proactive. It allows you to create a high-performance, zero incident safety culture which produces real results, that are sustainable from year to year.
Today, too many safety management practices are based on anecdotal evidence rather than sound scientific research. REAL Safety is based on the work of notable researchers in the fields of behavioral, social and management sciences, including organizational behavior & development. REAL Safety utilizes proven management techniques that work.
Creating a REAL Safety culture requires the implementation of 12 specific building blocks that must be in place for a company to achieve safety excellence. Each element of the process builds upon the other. As each building block is implemented, control measures are utilized to measure, manage, and maintain the changes.
Our highly qualified staff of management consultants expertly guides your people step-by-step from training and implementation to taking full ownership of the new culture. A REAL safety culture.
