Business Excellence ConsortiumSafety
Based on a no-fee Safety Needs Assessment a customized training plan is determined and implemented over a 12-month period of time. Behavioral Based Safety Training is designed to create a mindset that accidents are not acceptable and that all employees must continuously work on prevention of accidents. Behaviors are the leading cause of injuries, not machines not conditions. Creating the mindset of thinking safe 24/7 is the most effective way to decrease accidents, injuries and insurance costs. Companies know that they can incur some savings through compliance, but many do not realize that an injury prevention mindset will return far greater business benefits. The training is customized for each company by reviewing individual safety records, best practices and safety programs currently in place. An Experience Modification Rate or Paid Claim Analysis is performed to determine where workers compensation costs and injuries can be reduced. The analysis will also show companies how to get a return on their investment for safety programs. Based on the complete analysis, a service plan is developed and implemented. Part of the Service Plan includes benchmarking against other companies to determine individual total recordable and/or paid claim goals. Benchmarking is performed by comparing the subject company to national averages for the same type of industries. Indirect & direct costs of injuries at specific profit margins are explained. Typically, the hidden costs of an injury or incident can be 2-5 times the sum of the hard dollar figure or direct cost. The goal is to illustrate to top management and all employees the cost of minor injuries, ways to reduce these costs and how they impact the bottom line. The facilitator uses interactive presentation techniques including audience participation and role playing. All activities are designed to encourage effective communication between all levels in addition to team building and enhanced personal relationships with co-workers. The following Operating Principals are rolled out:
ObjectivesDefining the Accident Goal, Defining a Team, Defining World Class Safety, Team Needs, Motivators vs. De-Motivators, Employees work safe because superiors and coworkers hold them accountable, All employees realize that they have control over workplace/home safety becoming accountable to themselves, Safety becomes a personal choice, To create a culture of positive reinforcement - increased self-esteem, improved behavior, attitudes, productivity, and morale.
