COMMITTED TO SAFETY

If we are the “best” place to work in our communities we serve, every member on our team will know how to make a meaningful contribution to fulfilling our goals.

Key contributors choose safety.  All the time.

First, you’re mindful of your personal, individual safety:

• Following the rules.
• Adhering to the procedures.
• Becoming a “safety” student of your environment so that you are alert to the risks facing you.
• These are all ways to make a big contribution.

Second, you’re a force for safety on your team:

• You ask good questions.
• You point out unsafe situations and unsafe actions.
• You teach new people safety.
• You hold teammates accountable to safe behavior.
• You will not let unsafe conditions stand.

And finally, an intentional, safe teammate means being active:

• You choose it.
• You devote energy to it.
• You don’t let your guard down.
• These things require mental toughness and commitment.

My experience is if you will be tough and committed to safety, other good things follow.
