Unsafe Condition or Act?
In our experience…
The majority of process and
personal incidents, injuries
and accidents are caused
by unsafe acts and
behaviors, not conditions
and equipment.

(how risks are understood by people and systematically addressed)

How Do we Keep it Going
Visible, “felt” leadership commitment
Safety is not just a ‘priority’ ...it is a ‘VALUE’ 
Foster ‘will’ and ‘passion’ for change
Employee involvement & “ownership”
Belief that all incidents are ‘preventable’
‘Good safety is all about people’
Continuous improvement
‘What gets measured gets done’ – focus on leading and lagging indicators
Improvement is a …‘moving target’ – need to keep raising the bar
20
As Leaders, we need to ask ourselves these questions
1.
At times, do business goals compete with the safety focus?
2.
Where is our organization on the culture curve?
3.
Do we drive demonstrated leadership commitment? Is safety a line
management responsibility?
4. What is the level of engagement of employees for safety?
5.
How can we drive continuous improvement? …… GOAL ZERO!

In closing….some food for thought!
“You get the level of
safety that you
demonstrate you want!”
“We must become the
change that we
want to see!”

DuPont – 22 Essential Elements of Safety
27
Safety Priority or Value?
Safety is a PRIORITY
when working safely is a
condition of employment,
your boss insists you do
it and you do what you
are asked to do. It affects
an individual’s behavior.
Safety is a VALUE when
you work safely without
being told to do so. It is
at the center of who you
are; it defines who you
are and the way you
work and live. It affects
how you think.
Going from priority to
value is a process. It
takes time and effort on
your part.
